The development of health policies typically follows a multi-step process: 1. Problem Identification: Recognizing a public health issue through epidemiological data. 2. Research and Evidence Gathering: Collecting and analyzing data to understand the extent and impact of the problem. 3. Stakeholder Engagement: Involving key stakeholders, including public health officials, healthcare providers, and the community. 4. Policy Formulation: Crafting policy options based on evidence and stakeholder input. 5. Policy Adoption: Gaining approval from relevant authorities and decision-makers.
