The European Public Health Association (EUPHA) and the University of Nicosia Medical School are celebrating the European Public Health Week from 22 to 26 May 2023.

This year’s European Public Health Week   aims to highlight the importance of public health and showcase how individuals and organizations across different sectors are working towards addressing “Public health: Global issues, local actions”.

The University of Nicosia Medical School is pleased to participate in this initiative and contribute to raising awareness about the critical role of public health in our communities. Through a series of engaging activities, we aim to demonstrate our commitment to promoting and advancing public health initiatives in Cyprus and beyond.

UNIC Medical School presents a panel discussion entitled “Obesity Epidemic: A Ticking Time Bomb”.

We cordially invite all students, staff, faculty, health professionals, and public health experts to attend this informative and thought-provoking event.

The discussion will explore the consequences of obesity and its connections to non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disease. Our expert panelists will also examine the impact of obesity on pregnancy, sexuality, and lifestyle medicine.

Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to learn from experts in the field and engage in a discussion on one of the most pressing public health issues of our time.
