FPH project receives support from ESCWA and ANDD
The Academic Network for Development Dialogue (ANDD) at Qatar University has selected the Faculty of Public Health (FPH) to present a research abstract within the network’s series of research papers entitled: “Building on the Similarities between Arab Countries to Promote Sustainable Development”, during a workshop that will be organized on 4-5 September 2022.
Professor Maha Hoteit (Master’s Officer in Clinical Nutrition & Public Health at the FPH) will participate in the workshop through a study - the first of its kind in Lebanon and the Arab world - related to the assessment of nutritional culture among young age groups (between 10-19 years) and their families in Lebanon and the Arab countries.
The results of the study, supported by ESCWA, pave the way for the inclusion of nutrition in the Lebanese and Arab educational curricula, bearing in mind that the implementation of the project to introduce nutrition into the curricula requires a well-studied action plan in coordination with the Ministries of Education & Higher Education and Public Health.
