Dema Najjar shared thisIn Loving Memory: A Journey of Courage and Compassion Four weeks ago, I said goodbye to my father, a courageous man who had been a lung transplant patient since 2016. His journey was not just a battle for health; it was a profound lesson in resilience, compassion, and hope. In his fight, he taught me the power of enduring spirit and the beauty of facing life’s toughest challenges with a kind heart. His passing has deeply affected me, but it has also instilled a sense of purpose. In honor of my dad, I am embracing a mission that mirrors the values he lived by. I've joined the University Health Network (UHN), an institution at the forefront of lung transplant research and patient care. UHN's commitment to medical excellence and compassionate care echoes my father’s journey - a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the impact of unwavering support. Leading a new strategic fundraising Committee for lung transplantation at UHN, I am not only contributing to medical advancements but also nurturing a community of care and support, much like the one that surrounded my father. This effort symbolizes more than just a cause; it represents a legacy of love, resilience, and the belief that every small act of kindness can leave a lasting imprint. This story, my father’s story, teaches us that in the midst of loss and hardship, we can find strength and purpose. By supporting this cause, we honor not just his memory but the spirit of all those who battle similar challenges. Together, we can ensure that their journeys are met with hope, care, and a community that stands in solidarity. Join us in making a difference, in creating a legacy of hope and care, where every breath is cherished and every life is valued. #UHN #LungTransplant #InMemory #LegacyOfLove #makingadifference

Dema Najjar shared thisWhat a privileged and honour it was to be in the presence of such brilliant medical minds and philanthropic spirit from the University Health Network and UHN foundation. The evening was hosted by the Ajmera family, a family who has made such a positive and influential impact in the world of transplant through their funding of the first transplant centre at the Toronto General Hospital. The evening was attended by the Royal Highness, the Dutches of Edinburgh, who spoke of her connection to the project, as well as her strong supporter of UHN which she characterizes as a family network. Our continued support of UHN and the UHN foundation only helps to fund and grow these life changing programmes that keep our loved safe and healthy Raj Kothari, FCPA, FCA, MBA Shaf Keshavjee #UHN #lungtransplant

The headline number is USD 375 million, but the practitioner's number is 97 percent, the share of that MENA total which UAE start-ups captured in August, nearly all of it in two Series C rounds. A month this concentrated says more about where growth capital is willing to write large checks than it does about broad deal flow. We would want to see September's number come from more than two companies before calling it a trend. https://lnkd.in/dddyuM_Z

This is a keynote I’m particularly looking forward to. Dr. Mobarak AlMulhim MD, MBA, FRCPC(EM-CCM), FCCM, FAAEM, ABLM, will be joining us at the HealthVC Summit to speak about Saudi Arabia’s Health Investment Opportunities. Saudi Arabia is becoming increasingly important for healthcare investors, founders, and scale-ups looking at capital, market access, and strategic expansion in the Gulf. But understanding where the real opportunities are, how the health sector is evolving, and where private capital can play a role requires more than a surface-level view. Dr. Mobarak brings exactly that perspective through his work as Executive Advisor for the Health Sector at the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia. For anyone looking seriously at Saudi Arabia as part of their healthcare investment or expansion strategy, this will be an important session. Looking forward to welcoming him to Zurich on September 3rd. #HealthVCSummit #SaudiArabia #HealthcareInvestment #LifeSciences #HealthTech #Vision2030 #VentureCapital #Zurich
