Healthy Diet Project
HAC
Since eating behaviors during childhood track into adulthood and thus contribute to long term risks of health problems and chronic diseases, the project will be targeting mainly the primary school children. By changing many of the wrong habits the school children may have, we hope we will be able to play an active role in limiting the alarming rate of spread of many of the chronic diseases in our region!
Hepatitis Awareness Campaign project acts at multiple stages, facing both HCV and HAV. The project aims to increase awareness about hepatitis. It is divided into two parts: •the first part deals with HAV and the target population are school students •the second part deals with HBV & HCV and the target population are nursing schools and faculty students. It acts on these groups through awareness campaigns that will increase their awareness about this issue and hopefully will have an impact on their hygienic and behavioral attitudes. We use pre-and post questionnaires to assess the impact of the health education on the target group. E-mail: dr_professional2010@yahoo.com
