Welcome back !
In this issue , I was fortunate to catch up with periodontist Dr Sharyar Baradaran and orthopaedic surgeon Dr Arya Shamie . The two doctors escaped Iran in 1979 and emigrated to the USA . They told me about the joy of mentoring new medical professionals , the value of education and what being refugees taught them . I also spoke to Ann Aerts , Head of The Novartis Foundation , who shared her study of people with high blood pressure living in São Paulo , Dakar and Ulaanbataar . The global population of older adults is increasing ; Max Parmentier is CEO of birdie , which builds digital home care technology that supports older adults to live safely and independently at home . Finally , Dr Akram Bouchenaki , CEO of Abdul Latif Jameel Health , discusses how new technologies can treat women ’ s healthcare conditions and how healthcare professionals are working outside of hospitals in underdeveloped areas .
Keep looking up , Helen
