INTERNATIONAL ALUMNUS EXPERIENCE
Saleh Abahussain, M.S.
“The POP program provided me with both the knowledge and perspective to better understand the complexities of healthcare systems and value assessment. I now approach patient access with a broader outlook, seeing the link between drugs and the health issues they address, and engaging stakeholders more effectively. These insights have strengthened my professional contribution and amplified my potential to influence policy and outcomes.”
