The main activity of public health supervisors is the prevention of diseases and health damages, and the surveillance and supervision of the health of the population. Supervisors carry out investigations and analyses to identify and minimize disease risks. The analyses carried out by public health supervisors also serve to inform the public about risks and preventive options, and to contribute to the development, formulation and implementation of local and central health policies.
