The WHO identified Non- Communicable Diseases (NCDs) as the leading cause of death, accounting for 2/3 of all deaths worldwide.

These included cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and cancer. Global urbanization, sedentary lifestyle, and an increase in life expectancy, are projected to increase NCD burden worldwide.

Proportional Mortality

(% of total deaths, all ages)* Injuries

9%

Other NCDs 13%

Diabetes 2%

Cancers 19%

CVD 45%

Communicable, maternal,

perinatal and nutritional conditions

7%

Respiratory diseases

5%

NCDs are estimated to account for 84% of all deaths

World Health Organization - NCD Country Profiles , 2011

* The mortality estimates for this country have a high degree of uncertainty because they are not based on any national NCD mortality data. The estimates are based on a combination of country life tables, policy/programme/action plan cause of death models, regional cause of death patterns, and WHO and UNAIDS program estimates for some major causes of death (not including NCDs).

SHARP Mission

“To provide superior didactic education complemented

with state-of-the-art interactive and practical training in health research, with a focus on non-communicable

diseases research. It is intended for physicians and other health care professionals, to improve and advance the health care agenda for non-communicable diseases in

Lebanon and the region“.

SHARP Training Pathways Short, Medium, and Long Term Training

• Short term training: Scholars in Health Research Summer Certificate Program of 12 (±2) credits. An summer intensive course that provides the essentials in epidemiology, biostatistics, research ethics, library medicine, and hands-on analyses of large NCD datasets

• Medium Term Training: summer students may elect to follow summer program with work on an NCD project for 3-6 months, and generate one or more publications.

• Long Term Training: Master of Science for Scholars in Health. Medical students and graduates can proceed with completing the additional 28 credits, including a 6 credit Research Thesis project, to obtain this novel master degree: SHARP MS .
