Public Health in the Middle East and North Africa 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.
Addressing public health in the MENA region requires both national
and regional actions and the symposium provided a unique
opportunity for effective transfer of knowledge and exchange of
information among major stakeholders. Documenting the key regional
public health challenges and the findings of the symposium, Public
Health in the Middle East and North Africa serves as a means to
stimulate further dialogue and policy actions on critical issues of
public health importance to the region.
