Regulatory Framework of Public Health as a Part of SDGs for Good Health and Well-Being

Objectives: The study aims to outline the different perspectives on the scope of public health law, emphasizing the measures of the European Union and leading world organizations to combat epizootic and pandemic risks with a focus on the sustainable development goal of good health and well-being. Theoretical Framework: The study is based on the World Health Organization's definition of health and its development in the context of the One Health concept and the consequences of the Covid 19 pandemic, emphasizing the need to raise awareness of the risks of emerging health crises. Method: A qualitative legal analysis was conducted using the European Union's EUR-Lex portal and international health policies related to the protection of public health. Results and Discussion: The review systematizes core public health concepts across international legal frameworks and highlightins the close interelations between public health, One Health, and environmental health in regard to good health and wellbeing. The findings demonstrate the European Union’s integrated preventive approach, based on surveillance, preparedness, and cross-sectoral coordination for the control of zoonotic and emerging health threats, with an emphasis of the growing role of environmental and social determinants of health. Research Implications: The study provides a structured guide for policymakers, health professionals and international organisations outside the EU. It offers an examination of the scope of public health law and the possibility of tracing it in the context of the various factors that shape it and the emergence of the term "environmental health". Originality/Value: This study presents a consolidated overview of the EU regulatory framework on public health policy.
