INTRODUCTION
The concept of public health is associated with the discipline of public health and the
nature as well as scope of public health activity. There are several challenges faced by public
health within twenty first century. It is concluded that principles and practices of public health
are followed for managing the implementation of effective health services. There are few health
issues which have changed the focus and activity of public health (Bowen, and et.al,2020). There
are several public health and social policies within Australia developed for indigenous group and
community for managing the improvement in health condition. In the following report, there is
discussion about various literature reviews on “Coronary heart disease” in the indigenous
community in Australia.
