Core Principle
Local priorities first. International expertise second.
Our Approach

Connecting UK Academic Capability with Saudi Healthcare Priorities

Led by Dr Hammad Hasan and his project team, the initiative is being developed around a simple principle: international academic expertise should be co-designed around Saudi priorities, not simply transferred into the Kingdom.
