“ EVEN IF PEOPLE COULDN ' T SEE IT , WE HAD TO CARRY ON ; EVENTUALLY , DESTINY AND COVID-19 PROVED US RIGHT ”

DURING YOUR TIME HERE , WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST LESSON FOR YOU PERSONALLY ? “ People were laughing at us . Honestly , that was a big challenge , even personally . I come from a family where my father is a doctor and my mom works at a big pharmaceutical company , so they are well entrenched in the healthcare industry . People were talking about me , in a small country like Jordan , saying , ‘ What is this guy doing , telling patients that they can solve their problems over a phone ?’
“ It was challenging back then , but one of the big lessons here is that I believed in what I was doing . I did my research , and my team was convinced that we were solving a problem . Even if people couldn ' t see it , we were doing it , and we had to carry on ; eventually , destiny and COVID-19 proved us right .”
OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS , WHAT WILL ALTIBBI BE DOING ? “ We are building a couple of very , very important partnerships that hopefully will be propagating Altibbi beyond the Arab world alone . So this is something that we ' re very excited about .”
