The World Health Organization (WHO) has granted its Regional Award for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) to Dr. Majid Ghayour Mobarhan, an Iranian nutrition specialist and professor at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
According to the Ministry of Health, the WHO annually recognizes scientists who make significant contributions to preventing and controlling NCDs, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer, in line with its mission to promote the highest attainable level of health for all people.
In 2024, the WHO’s Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, supported by the State of Kuwait Prize Fund, selected Dr. Ghayour Mobarhan for his outstanding work in cardiovascular disease prevention.
