Public health policies intersect with politics in various ways. Political decisions often shape the delivery, funding, and prioritization of health initiatives. During crises such as pandemics, the effectiveness and response of health policies can become a major political issue, influencing public perception and voter behavior. Policymakers must navigate the complex landscape of public health data, societal needs, and economic implications. Moreover, political agendas can skew health priorities, impacting equity and access to healthcare resources, particularly for marginalized communities.
