An exclusive interview

Navigating compounding problems in the healthcare system

“I grew up in Beirut in Lebanon in the post-Civil War period, and I saw a lot of trauma casualties during my growing up years. I wanted to really help the people around me, be there for first aid and be present during emergencies. I studied nursing at American University of Beirut just after the war, so my training was at the American University Hospital during a recovery period. You can imagine how things work after a devastating war, with a city that was shredded for 15 years. Nothing was working and all the systems were being reconstructed from scratch.”
