Visit the World Health Organization (Links to an external site.) website. Choose a health topic and filter by the country you selected for your Country Presentation – EGYPT. Prepare a 400-500 word documentexplaining the health topic and how it affects the population of the country from your presentation.
Important Note
If you are unable to find a health topic based on the country from your Country Presentation, you may select another country for this assignment.
Assess what influence cultural factors play in health outcomes. For example, if we look at the United States, we will find that the leading cause of death is heart disease. In this case, how might the incidence of heart disease be linked to culture (and not simply lifestyle choices)? Think about the cultural significance of working in the US. How are those who do not work viewed? What about the idea of the American Dream? How might this lead people to overwork, stress, and potentially neglect of health?
Apply similar questions to your country in analyzing how the country’s cultural factors influence this health topic. When summarizing a source or directly quoting a source, be sure to include an in-text citation in the paper itself.
