Advancing Health Education and Digital Learning in Low-Resource Settings

8 March, 2026

As Deputy Global Coordinator, HIFA Country Representatives, a member of the Pharmacy Technician Advisory Committee (FIP), a Well-Being Ambassador with ASHP, and a participant in the UN Global Compact (UNGC), I am deeply committed to expanding access to quality healthcare education in low- and middle-income countries.

At Al-Fateh Institute of Health Sciences, we are integrating digital learning pathways, international certifications, and industry collaborations to empower students and healthcare professionals.

I would love to share insights and practical experiences on building resilient health education ecosystems, leveraging digital learning, and fostering global collaborations. I hope this can contribute to conversations on podcasts like Global Health Matters and beyond.

Best regards,

Mohammad Umaid
