The MENA Regional Hub is a crucial part of The Global Health Network’s global mission to expand research capacity, equity, and leadership in health research. This new regional initiative aims to enable health research in every healthcare setting, ensuring that research is conducted by those who are directly impacted by the evidence and that the benefits are shared across the region. By providing an inclusive platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, the MENA Hub seeks to strengthen research capabilities and improve health outcomes in the Middle East and North Africa.

The launch event at Canadian University Dubai commenced with a keynote address by Professor Trudie Lang, Professor of Global Health Research and Head of The Global Health Network in the Nuffield Department of Medicine. This was followed by the inaugural address by Mr. Buti Al Ghandi, Chancellor of CUD.
