Pathology and public health are disciplines that complement each other in many ways, from the information they provide to each other at the individual and population levels, to the development of public healthpolicies and the management of information in biobanks, as well as articulation in responding to emergencies and outbreaks. Our non-systematic review highlights that the two most relevant fields which collaborate with public health are forensic pathology (including violent and non-violent deaths) and molecular pathology, making significant contributions to health care planning, the quality of epidemiological information, evidence-based public health that enables better decision-making, and community and populationhealth management. This review identified the use of information systems, the need for a more tangible interdisciplinary approach, and the urgent educational transformation that underlies this collaboration, as areas for improvement.
