KUMS / SPH / Welcome from Dean

Welcome from Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Public Health, a community of students, faculty, staff, and partners dedicated to fostering innovative solutions to improve our nation’s health. At the Faculty of Public Health, we are putting knowledge into practice and implementing a new era of public health grounded in social justice, community engagement, innovative public health practices, and public health policies that support community health efforts.

The College’s work as a vital partner of a broad and integrated academic medical center, in conjunction with our State and local health departments and our corporate and community partners, has helped make Kermanshah one of the healthy states in the I.R.Iran. But we can, and will, do even better. Although we have made great strides to improve the health of Kermanshah, the Faculty of Public Health is committed to making Kermanshah the healthiest state in the west of I.R. Iran. This challenge makes for an unparalleled learning environment for our students and faculty.

Public health is confronted by unprecedented societal and global health challenges affecting billions, including climate change, globalization, increasing chronic and communicable diseases, and new health system(s).

While the challenges are great, the Faculty of Public Health is capitalizing on the breadth of talents, innovative ideas, and resources of our vast network of students, faculty, and partners to create groundbreaking models for health promotion, disease prevention, and public health policies that support community health efforts for Kermanshah, the Iran.

I encourage you to explore our website for a virtual glimpse of the extraordinary accomplishments of our faculty and students. The Faculty of Public Health innovative tools, programs, and partners provide an exceptional opportunity to reach large groups of people and revolutionize public health in exciting ways. We invite you to come to the campus and learn more about the Faculty of Public Health and the impact the College has made in Kermanshah, the Iran.

We hope you’ll join us in our work to improve the health of communities and nations.
