Dr. Maryam koosha | Health Policy | Editorial Board Member

Associate Professor | Institiute for humanities and cultural studies | Iran

Maryam Koosha, PhD, is an accomplished scholar in social welfare whose research spans breast cancer care, women’s health, aging studies, and social policy analysis, with a particular focus on how structural, cultural, and socioeconomic dynamics shape health outcomes in Iran. Her work demonstrates a sustained commitment to integrating social sciences with public health to advance patient-centered care and evidence-informed policymaking. Dr. Koosha has contributed extensively to the understanding of breast cancer experiences, including screening strategies, supportive care needs, lifestyle-related risk factors, and coping behaviors, collaborating widely with medical, psychosocial, and public health researchers across multidisciplinary platforms. Her publications in reputable national and international journals reflect the breadth of her scholarship, covering systematic and scoping reviews, randomized clinical trial collaborations, qualitative studies, and policy development research. Beyond oncology, she has emerged as a leading voice in gerontology and social health, developing policy models for enhancing the social well-being of older adults, analyzing policy gaps, and offering strategic directions for strengthening support systems in the context of rapid demographic change and the feminization of aging. Her academic contributions extend to cultural studies, social discourse analysis, and comparative welfare research, reinforcing her role as a thinker who bridges theory and applied policy. Dr. Koosha’s body of work reflects meaningful societal impact, informing service delivery, shaping evidence-based interventions, and providing insight for future policy reforms aimed at promoting equity, resilience, and community-centered support structures. Through her interdisciplinary collaborations, rigorous scholarship, and focus on vulnerable populations, she continues to advance the understanding of how social welfare principles can improve health outcomes and quality of life within evolving social and cultural landscapes.
