L. Summary of my Activities and Future Plans
My research is oriented towards evaluation of the activities of the Ministry of Health. It
is done mainly by instructing on MPH theses of students of the University of Haifa and
health workers of Haifa District Health Office. My research is and will continue to be
taken from the areas that I lead on my everyday working: prevention of diseases,
surveillance and prevention of infectious diseases and vaccinations. Therefore this
research is simple, field oriented and applicable,
