OHT Dubai Chai Chats 2

For our next OHT Dubai Community Chai Chat, we're delighted to welcome Andy Ward.

Andy is the Managing Director and Founder of WHi Consulting and Chair of the UK International Healthcare Management Association. With extensive experience working across the GCC and beyond, Andy has spent his career helping shape healthcare systems, supporting international collaboration, and building connections across borders.

During our conversation, we'll explore:

• What it's really like working across different healthcare systems and cultures

• Lessons from building relationships and partnerships across the GCC and MENA region

• The opportunities and challenges facing health innovation in the region

• How leadership, collaboration and curiosity can open doors internationally

• Practical insights for founders, innovators and professionals looking to grow their impact beyond their home market

  
  

As always, we'll open up the conversation to the wider community, creating space for questions, shared experiences, and new connections over a virtual cup of chai.
