The General Secretariat is convening the 16th Meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee of the Council of Arab Health Ministers on 28–29 April at the headquarters of the League of Arab States.
The meeting was held in preparation for the 62nd Ordinary Session of the Council of Arab Health Ministers and its Executive Office, scheduled to take place in Geneva on 18–19 May in conjunction with the 78th Session of the World Health Assembly.
Ambassador Dr. Haifa Abu Ghazaleh, Assistant Secretary-General and head of the Social Affairs Sector, affirmed that the Health and Humanitarian Aid Department of the Technical Secretariat would review several critical health issues.
Foremost among these are the health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem and the occupied Syrian Golan, particularly in light of the unprecedented humanitarian and health crisis affecting the Gaza Strip and its healthcare services.
The agenda further includes deliberations on sustaining health and humanitarian support for the Palestinian people in Gaza, as well as examining the health and humanitarian situation in the Union of the Comoros.
Additionally, the Committee will address and follow up on a number of priority health topics, including: the development of medical and hospital tourism within the Arab region; the oversight of activities and programmes of the Arab Authority for Blood Transfusion Services and the Arab Drug Agency (WAAD); the recommendations of the Arab Health Committee for Emergency Preparedness and Response; the Arab guiding strategy to promote the application of health economics approaches to address major health priorities for the period 2025–2030; collective Arab efforts to combat drug abuse; as well as the proposed frameworks for physician visitation exchanges and training programmes among Arab countries.
He further noted that the draft unified statement of the Council of Arab Health Ministers, intended for presentation at the 78th Session of the World Health Assembly, will be reviewed.
The statement is scheduled to be delivered by the Minister of Health and Community Protection of the United Arab Emirates.
Moreover, the meeting will ratify the winners of the 2025 Arab Doctor Award and consider financial matters related to the Arab Fund for Health Development.
Ambassador Abu Ghazaleh also said that the recommendations arising from the Technical Advisory Committee will be presented to the Executive Office and subsequently submitted to the Council of Arab Health Ministers for formal adoption during the sessions to be held in Geneva on 18–19 May.

Your Skin in Summer: Common Problems and Effective Solutions
Pasant Elzaitony With soaring temperatures and longer hours under the sun, your skin faces unique challenges during the summer months. Excessive sweating, high humidity, and strong UV rays can affect its glow and health, making proper care essential. 1. Sunburn and Skin Darkening Extended sun exposure increases melanin production, leading to tanning, dark spots, and sometimes painful sunburn. Treatment & Prevention: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50, reapplying every two hours. Wear wide-brimmed hats and UV-protective sunglasses. Soothe burns with aloe vera gel or cool compresses. 2. Skin Dryness and Dehydration Hot weather can strip the skin of its natural moisture, causing dryness and flakiness. Treatment & Prevention: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Use hydrating creams rich in hyaluronic acid or glycerin. Opt for gentle cleansers instead of harsh soaps. 3. Acne and Breakouts Sweat, excess oil, and clogged pores often trigger acne flare-ups in summer. Treatment & Prevention: Wash your face twice daily with a cleanser designed for oily or combination skin. Use products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Avoid touching or squeezing pimples to prevent scarring. 4. Pigmentation and Melasma Sun exposure can worsen pigmentation, especially in sensitive skin. Treatment & Prevention: Apply sunscreen with antioxidants like Vitamin C. Use brightening creams containing niacinamide or arbutin. Consider professional treatments such as laser or chemical peels for severe cases. 5. Skin Irritation and Rashes Sweating and friction from clothing can lead to rashes or redness. Treatment & Prevention: Wear loose, breathable cotton clothing. Apply baby powder or soothing creams with panthenol. Avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM). Bottom Line: Summer is a season of fun, but it can be tough on your skin. Consistent care and smart protection are the keys to maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion all season long. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...
