International Women’s Day 2024

On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2024, I extend my heartfelt wishes to every woman, encouraging them to shine brighter than ever. May their resilience, strength, and determination serve as beacons of inspiration, driving progress and positive change in all aspects of life.

On this International Women’s Day 2024 (IWD), under the theme of “Inspire Inclusion,” which advocates for investing in women, I reflect on the journey that has brought me to this pivotal moment—a journey marked by the guidance of my first mentor, my father, and the support of colleagues, partners, and organizations.

In the spirit of this celebration, let us build together a world where everyone is appreciated, listened to, and empowered. This theme is profoundly inspiring, as investing in women is an essential topic, particularly in our Arab region. Let’s commit to promoting collaboration between men and women, forming diverse teams that serve as strongholds of creativity and progress.

This occasion signifies our ongoing pursuit of equality, where each individual’s input is respected, and every achievement is celebrated together. As an influential Arab healthcare leader who started achieving remarkable milestones at a very young age, I’ve noticed the essential need for inclusive health policies and practices.

Together, men and women can work to build a strong Arab healthcare system that overcomes challenges and creates a resilient, sustainable, smart, and safe sector, particularly in women’s health—a topic to which I have paid special attention. Let us collaborate and leverage technology, such as artificial intelligence and future innovations, to ensure longevity, healthy lives, and the well-being of our communities.

Let’s pledge to inspire inclusion that elevates and empowers everyone. May our actions mirror our commitment to building a world where everyone can shine as brightly as gold. Together, we have the power to shift toward a more compassionate world. Let us lead with empathy, drive change, and inspire inclusion at every turn.

May our actions demonstrate our dedication to creating a world where each individual can shine, especially women. Only those who have the ability to see beyond the surface can truly appreciate this brilliance, just as only those with a genuine heart can value the true worth of a person.
