📣Emerging Topics in Public Health - IMPH at the University of Haifa in the Spotlight!
👏We are proud to share that Dr. Tair Ben-Porat, Director of the International Master of Public Health (IMPH) Program at the University of Haifa and Senior Lecturer at the School of Public Health, was recently interviewed on the Israeli national Galei Tzahal Radio to discuss one of the most important emerging topics in obesity care: incretin-based medications and the critical role of evidence-based nutritional and multidisciplinary support alongside these therapies.
🎙During the interview, Dr. Ben-Porat highlighted both the remarkable advances these medications have brought to obesity treatment and the new nutritional, behavioural, and clinical challenges they introduce, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive, long-term patient care.
☝The discussion also featured key messages from the recently published Israeli Dietetic Association (ATID) Position Statement on nutritional care for individuals receiving incretin-based pharmacotherapy for obesity, a document that Dr. Ben-Porat co-led and co-authored with a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Seminar Day in the IMPH Program 🌍📚

Yesterday ( 16.6.26) , students in the Nutrition Role in Public Health course, part of our International Master of Public Health (IMPH) program at the School of Public Health, University of Haifa, presented their seminar projects.
The presentations reflected impressive depth, critical thinking, and engagement with contemporary public health nutrition challenges. Topics ranged from nutrition and behavioral interventions, patient-centered care approaches, and chronic diseases - including obesity, to emerging innovations such as AI-based tools for nutritional assessment and intervention development.
Students also explored research on patients’ needs, preferences, and barriers to adopting healthy nutrition and lifestyle behaviors, while identifying important gaps and future research directions.
A big congratulations to our hardworking students for their excellent preparation, professionalism, and thoughtful presentations.
We are proud of your dedication and achievements!

Smart health policies can often
reduce social injustice ⚖
Research led by Prof. Maya Negev
from the University of Haifa shows
that while high-income countries such as
the U.S., Europe, China & Japan
drive most greenhouse gas emissions,
the Global South suffers rising mortality from
heat, disease & food insecurity,
despite contributing far less to the crisis.
The good news: reducing heat exposure
can narrow this social injustice and impact for good 📉
This is exactly the kind of challenge our MPH program
trains future public health leaders to address.

📚✨ Learning beyond the classroom! ✨📚

Last week, our International MPH students at the University of Haifa stepped out of the traditional classroom and into a hands-on workshop at the University Library, focused on literature searching for research and the use of AI tools for targeted literature search and scientific writing.

A special thank you to Ronit Marko for leading such an engaging and practical session, and to our wonderful students for their hard work, curiosity, and impressive progress on their research proposals as part of the course 👏
