Solution

Living Standard means the conditions in which people are living. If they have access to better health care facilities, food, shelter, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, etc., it means the living standard is high.
On the contrary, if the above-mentioned items are poor in nature or unavailable, the people are having a low or poor living standard.
Public health means the general health conditions and well-being of a person. Everyone has got the basic right to avail health care services, to remain disease-free and healthy.
