This report documents the main
highlights and findings from the Middle East Regional
Symposium, "Meeting the Public Health Challenges of the
21st Century in the Middle East and North Africa/Eastern
Mediterranean Region", held in Beirut in June 2002.
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is currently
undergoing both epidemiological and demographical
transitions which are resulting in changing patterns of
mortality and morbidity. Chronic and non-communicable
diseases and injuries now account for a growing share of the
overall burden of ill health. Countries of the region are
faced with the challenge of addressing these emerging issues
while, at the same time trying to complete the unfinished
agenda of addressing diseases and protecting the health of
mothers and children. The book consists of an overview
drawing on a broad range of presentations at the conference,
followed by chapters on specific public health issues
including: functions and infrastructures, choosing and
financing public health services, public health best buys,
health promotion, HIV/AIDs, road safety, and strengthening
primary health care. |
