Abstract: This review discusses the importance of public health and the lack of sufficient funding in this domain. Our study shows that public health investments are crucial not only for health but also for economic success, and it is essential to recognize their value and impact. Some barriers to funding include economic effectiveness standards, long-term prevention costs, and the influence of healthcare interest groups. The post-pandemic funding cuts, on top of an already underfunded infrastructure, may make the nation ill-prepared for future pandemics.
