Abdel Omran

Abdel Omran is a prominent public health expert known for his work on the "Epidemiological Transition Model," which describes how a society's health patterns change over time. He proposed that as countries develop, they move from high rates of infectious diseases and mortality to lower rates, with chronic diseases becoming more prevalent. This transition reflects improvements in healthcare, nutrition, and living conditions. Omran's model helps public health officials understand and address the changing health challenges in different populations as they progress through stages of development.
