Several health interventions have had a profound impact on public health:
- Smallpox Eradication: A coordinated global vaccination campaign led to the eradication of smallpox in 1980. - HIV/AIDS Prevention: Programs promoting safe sex, needle exchange, and antiretroviral therapy have significantly reduced the spread of HIV. - Smoking Cessation Programs: Public health campaigns and policies like smoking bans have reduced smoking rates and associated diseases.
