MUST Participates in the World Conference on Population, Health and Human Development (PHDC)

From 21 to 25 October 2024, Misr University for Science and Technology (MUST), through its Faculty of Oral and Dental Surgery, participated in organizing the World Conference on Population, Health and Human Development (PHDC) at The St. Regis in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital. The conference brought together approximately 250 specialists and stakeholders in population, health, and human development to exchange knowledge and discuss issues related to public health and sustainable development.

The conference featured public health policy panels, oral epidemiological research, and discussions on preventive health strategies. These activities provided a platform for knowledge exchange on population health priorities, healthcare challenges, and approaches to improving health outcomes through research, policy development, and professional cooperation.

The conference also addressed themes relevant to family planning and population health, highlighting the importance of informed discussion, evidence-based approaches, and coordinated efforts in addressing public health and human development priorities.

Through this international forum, MUST supported a Health outreach programme focused on knowledge exchange and awareness of public health issues. The event also emphasized the importance of ongoing collaboration among academic institutions, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders in advancing healthcare knowledge and addressing shared public health challenges.

By bringing together experts from different sectors, PHDC encouraged dialogue on public health strategies, preventive healthcare, and human development. Such knowledge-sharing opportunities can help strengthen professional understanding and support more coordinated approaches to population health challenges.
