In order to minimize or eliminate the burden </em><em>of pandemic, it is required to plan and implement effective strategies promptly. The rapid emergence </em><em>and spread of these pandemic diseases raise severe public health, economic, and development </em><em>implications. Additionally, it underlines how crucial it is to build comprehensive disease diagnosis and </em><em>response skills, especially in "hot spot" zones where a wide range of factors may combine to bring about </em><em>the manifestation of disease. As the entire planet attempts to slow the spread of pandemics from the </em><em>time of occurrence, public health is now more significant than ever before. Public health professionals </em><em>are individuals who fight epidemics for the population through disease identification and prevention, </em><em>conducting research and promoting healthy lifestyles. Recognizing symptoms, such as unusual </em><em>disease, that indicate a developing outbreak requires public health initiatives, particularly those </em><em>incorporated in conventional health service provision. Once an unusual disease has been recognized </em><em>and an outbreak has been established, core health care facilities work to identify individuals and their </em><em>ties, as well as dismantle transmission chains in communities. This paper will try to present the </em><em>responsibilities of public health professionals in tackling pandemic situations briefly. In the first section, </em><em>a short overview of pandemic will be mentioned, then it will structurally discuss what public health </em><em>experts particularly do during a pandemic.</em></p>}, number={2}, journal={Global Journal of Public Health Medicine}, author={Sultana, Sabiha and Muddasser, Ahmad and Hasan, Md Mahmudul and Khatun, Maimuna and Akash, Sajidur Rahman and Baral, Prodip Kumar and Eham, Imtiaj Hossain Chowdhury}, year={2022}, month={Sep.}, pages={698–710} }
