In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Dr. Shereen Nabhani-Gebara, Professor of Oncology and Pharmacy at Kingston University and a leader in the EU-funded MULTIPULM project.

We discuss how digital health innovations have the potential to transform the care of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The conversation explores the challenges of delayed diagnosis, fragmented healthcare systems, and the rising burden of multimorbidity.

Dr. Nabhani-Gebara shares how integrated digital ecosystems, including AI-powered monitoring tools, remote care platforms, and patient-centered education, have the capacity to enable earlier detection, proactive management, and improved outcomes.

The episode also examines the role of global collaboration, the importance of adapting solutions to local contexts, and how these innovations could be applied in regions like the Middle East.

A must-listen for anyone interested in digital health, global medicine, and the future of patient-centered care.

In this powerful episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, we sit down with entrepreneur and consultant Zina Malas, Founder & CEO of Tawlé Consultancy, to discuss migration, identity, ambition, and the difficult choices many Lebanese professionals face.

⚠️ Important context: This conversation was recorded two weeks before the war began in Lebanon, which gives the discussion an even deeper meaning today. As we listen back, many of the themes belonging, uncertainty, resilience, and the idea of “home” feel even more powerful and relevant.

Zina shares her journey of leaving Lebanon for Canada during one of the country’s most difficult periods, building a life abroad, and then making the bold and controversial decision to return to Lebanon despite many people telling her she was making a mistake.

In this episode, we explore:

• The emotional realities of migration beyond logistics

• The myths vs. truths about building a life abroad

• How identity evolves when living outside your home country

• Why returning home can sometimes be the bravest decision

• The lessons she learned abroad that shaped her consulting philosophy

After returning to Lebanon, Zina founded Tawlé Consultancy, where she helps businesses rethink strategy, growth, and leadership in complex environments.

We also discuss questions that resonate with many in the Lebanese diaspora today: Who should leave—and who should stay?

What do people misunderstand about success abroad? Is belonging a place or a mindset?

And if Lebanon were stable tomorrow, would people return?

This is a thoughtful and honest conversation about risk, resilience, and redefining success in uncertain times.
