Russia’s Putin: When a country falls from the sky
One year ago, the world media asked if another “roaring twenties” were upon us — a post-pandemic period of prosperity.I think we may have a different point of view about this now.Halfway through the year and the international headlines are telling a much different story.But let’s be optimistic, shall we?In these times of growing global uncertainty, volatility and divisions, one common denominator that can bring us all together is healthcare.The pandemic, while tough, has shown us the way.

Healthcare Diplomacy: Diverse voices should tackle problems that transcend borders and politics
Dear Thomas Friedman,I and the others may not agree with what you write, but the truth is, what you write is read all over the world.Yes, no doubt about it, and we got used to it. Sports and politics are mixed forever. Always together.Sports and Politics. We have seen it and will continue to see it.

GCC has an opportunity to play a role in resolving the Russia-Ukraine crisis
Globally, healthcare remains a topic of debate, specifically whether it is a right or a privilege, which has major implications for primary stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, and governments.However, no such debate exists in Saudi Arabia because healthcare is inveterately regarded as a fundamental human right, and the government has historically protected citizens’ right to healthcare: Public healthcare coverage is free, accessible to every citizen, and fully funded by non-tax-based governmental subsidies delivered to a number of government agencies.In spite of this, the private sector continues to play an active role in delivering healthcare services to self-pay patients and policyholders who are typically employees of private-sector entities that are legally...
