The Standing Committee on Public Health (SCOPH) is committed to raising awareness and addressing global public health challenges. SCOPH empowers medical students to take action through advocacy, education, and community engagement, focusing on improving public health outcomes locally and internationally.

Impact of Bad Habits in Public Health (IBH)

In 2023, BIL Armenia hosted an international event "Impact of Bad Habits in Public Health" (IBH 2023), bringing together health professionals, students, and global experts to discuss the harmful effects of unhealthy behaviors on public health. 

Building on the success of IBH 2023, we are excited to announce that we will be conducting IBH 2024, this time under the banner of SCOPH. The event is supported by UNFPA, and will continue to explore the impact of bad habits like smoking, substance abuse, and poor diet on public health, while also proposing strategies for prevention and education.

Why SCOPH?

SCOPH offers students the chance to:

• Engage in impactful public health initiatives: Get involved in campaigns and projects that make a real difference in the health and well-being of communities.

• Develop leadership and advocacy skills: Learn how to advocate for health policy changes that promote better public health practices.

• Participate in international events: Join global discussions and collaborations aimed at addressing public health challenges.

Through SCOPH, BIL Armenia ensures that students are at the forefront of global public health efforts, creating opportunities for them to make significant contributions both at home and internationally.
