Epidemiology, the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in a population, empowers us to pinpoint the factors that influence health outcomes. Through meticulous observation and analysis, epidemiologists unravel the causes of diseases, identify risk factors, and develop effective strategies for prevention and control.

Biostatistics, the application of statistical principles to health data, plays a crucial role in quantifying the magnitude of health problems, assessing the effectiveness of interventions, and making inferences from research findings. Biostatisticians utilize sophisticated statistical techniques to interpret data, draw meaningful s, and inform decision-making.
