Description
The Minister of Public Health is like the health protector of the country. They do many important things to keep everyone healthy and safe.
Imagine the country is a big hospital. The Minister of Public Health helps make sure the hospital works well. They make sure there are enough doctors and nurses to take care of people. They also watch over special places where people go to get better when they’re sick.
They’re like health detectives too! They help stop big sicknesses from spreading around by doing special campaigns and giving people medicine to keep them safe. They even check that the medicine is good quality.
The Minister of Public Health also talks to other countries and groups to learn and share ways to stay healthy. They help train doctors, dentists, and other medical workers so they know how to help people the best way.
They have special friends called the World Health Organization that they work with to make sure everyone in the country stays healthy and happy.
