'A big reason people don’t stay in public health is money. Salaries are small. Bureaucracies are large. Since the pandemic, abuse has also been on the rise.

@cyrilpedia In the UK, there are between 660k & a million people working in the NHS. (It depends on how you count it.)

People will work in public health if they feel there is a reason to. It is not the most effective way to get rich but, even at worst, it feels good to be helping keep people alive, make people better and stop them getting sick in the first place.
