As global healthcare leaders gather at World Health Expo, discussions are increasingly centred on how systems can evolve beyond ambition and into practical, sustainable delivery. From digital integration to workforce realities, the focus has shifted toward solutions that work not only in theory, but at scale.
For Modern Pharmaceutical LLC (MPC), these themes are closely aligned with its commitment to enabling more connected and efficient care pathways across the region.
We spoke with Ammar Yaghi, Head of Medical Division at MPC, about the changes reshaping healthcare and the priorities leaders should carry forward after the event.
From your perspective on the ground, what is the single biggest shift shaping healthcare right now, and how is it changing the way you operate or deliver care?
The biggest shift is the move from hospital-centred care to integrated, patient-centred systems. Healthcare is no longer defined by a single site of care — it’s becoming a connected pathway across hospitals, clinics, home, and digital channels. Operationally, this means organisations must prioritise scalable models, interoperability, and measurable outcomes, not just new technology.
After four days of conversations here, what gaps in healthcare delivery are being discussed most openly, and where do you see real progress happening rather than just ambition?
The gaps being discussed most openly are fragmented care delivery, workforce strain, and unequal access to specialised services. What’s promising is that progress is moving beyond ambition in areas like hybrid care models, stronger outpatient pathways, and more efficient diagnostics and turnaround times. The focus is shifting from pilots to solutions that can be implemented at scale and sustained.
For healthcare leaders visiting World Health Expo this year, what is the one mindset change or priority they should take back to their organisations when the event ends?
Leaders should move from thinking in terms of products and projects to thinking in terms of end-to-end care transformation. The priority after WHX should be execution: building pathways that deliver better outcomes, higher efficiency, and long-term resilience. In today’s environment, success isn’t about adopting innovation — it’s about operationalising it.
As WHX concludes, the message from the floor is clear: the future of healthcare will belong to organisations that can connect systems, scale solutions, and turn strategy into everyday practice.
