NOTES TO EDITORS:
The Lancet Series on "Health in the Arab World: a view from within" is a collaborative project that began in July, 2011, between the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) at the American University of Beirut (AUB) in Lebanon, the Institute of Community and Public Health (ICPH) of Birzeit University (BU) in the occupied Palestinian territory, and The Lancet . The objective of the project was to focus on priority health issues in the Arab world based on evidence interpreted mainly by scholars from the region, while adopting a multidisciplinary approach that included medical, public health, social, and political perspectives. The Series, consisting of six multi-authored papers, as well as viewpoints, essays, and comments, will be published by The Lancet on January 20, 2014, the date of the launch of the Series in London. The Lancet Series will also be launched in Beirut on January 23, 2014, by FHS in collaboration with ICPH and The Lancet . The launch will be one of the first events celebrating the 60th anniversary of FHS.
