Within this framework, we launched our Corporate Strategic Plan 2024–2030, which focuses on population health and expanding access to high-quality healthcare services.”
She added:

“In the field of education and development,” she continued, “we maintained ACGME-I Accreditation in Family Medicine and received, for the first time, ACGME-I Accreditation in Community Medicine. We also signed a research collaboration agreement with Hamad Bin Khalifa University.”
She noted the expansion of services, with over 1.8 million registered beneficiaries and more than 3 million family medicine visits—a 28% growth. New specialized services were launched, including urgent care, sepsis detection, cancer survivor care, and expanded ophthalmology services.

“Twenty-five years have passed, and our steps have never faltered.
We walked this path with love, sincerity, and hope for fulfillment.”
She recalled attending her first recognition ceremony at the start of her career, admiring the honorees and wondering if she would one day stand among them. “And here I am today, grateful for every moment and for everyone who accompanied me on this journey,” she said.

She closed her speech proudly: “After 25 years, I say with pride—it has been a journey full of giving. I thank the Corporation and its leadership and pledge to continue serving our country with sincerity.”
