Disposing of biohazards such as sharps from hospitals, tubings for infusions and plasma donations and any other disposable supplies used on patients in designated impermeable "BIOHAZARD" bins is public health. By abiding by this OSHA regulation, blood born pathogens are restricted and eventually destroyed reducing the the cause and spread of infections exponentially. This protects patients, physicians and even those that have to clean up the mess afterwards. Using disposable supplies and sterile equipment is also a form of public health so infections aren't passed on from patient to patient.
