Summary: “The chosen theme of World Health day 2010 was urbanization and health, in recognition of the impact that urbanization has on individuals, communities and cities. The objective of this publication is to draw attention to this issue in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Although it has been clearly established that urbanization is associated with serious health challenges, little evidence is available to support this claim in the region. Accordingly, the WHO regional office for the Eastern Mediterranean commissioned five case-studies to investigate the effect of urbanization on health in the region. The case-studies were carried out in slum areas of Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan, Sudan and Tunisia, employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies”—(p. 7). |
