Public health informatics is "the systematic application of information and computer science and technology to public health practice, research, and learning". This rapidly emerging field combines the use of public health information with use of information technology and the management of information systems. Particular emphasis will be placed on the phenomenon of global health issues (e.g. SARS, Avian Flu, AIDS etcetera) and the contribution that information technology can make to combating such global problems.
