SDLC 110 Culture Presentation

[Layla Samandi لیلا سمندی]

Health in Iran

Attached is my culture presentation about health and healthcare in Iran. I talked about how healthcare works in Iran, its history, and how it connects to culture. For example, Iran is famous for its ancient medicine, and that history may be part of the reason why medicine is such an esteemed and prestigious career in Iranian culture. A high rate of obesity in Iran can be connected to its cuisine, which is mostly composed of rice and red meat.
