Monastir-Habib Bourguiba Airport aims to welcome 1.83 million passengers in 2025
This forecast was shared during a periodic meeting of tourism professionals focused on preparations for the 2025 tourist season. Migaou noted that this projection represents an increase compared to 2024, when the airport recorded 1.63 million passengers and 11,516 flights.
Migaou highlighted that August 2024 marked the peak of activity, with expectations of a 10% rise in arrivals for the same month in 2025.
The airport has managed flights from 22 countries, with France leading the list, followed by Germany, Poland, Romania, Greece, and Serbia. The number of airlines operated at Monastir, including 'Nouvel Air,' 'Transavia,' 'Air France,' and 'Tunisair' reached 26 in 2024.
Additionally, Migaou announced a 30-million-dinar investment plan aimed at modernizing the airport's infrastructure.
The projects include rehabilitating the runway and nine aircraft parking areas, replacing seven lighting columns, and upgrading air conditioning, ventilation systems, and passenger restrooms.
Maintenance work, including the restoration of the original roof and ceilings in the check-in and departure areas, is set to begin in April and next week, respectively.
Finally, the renovation of the airport's façade is underway, with the first phase 10-15% complete and expected to finish in 45 days. The entire project is slated for completion by the last quarter of 2025.
Monastir-Habib Bourguiba Airport, already certified with ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 10002:2018 for complaint handling, has also achieved carbon certification for reducing its environmental footprint.

White Sox get blanked by Braves in Atlanta
Hurston Waldrep struck out a career best-tying seven in seven innings as the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago White Sox 1-0 on Wednesday night. Marcell Ozuna scored from third base in the fourth inning on an infield error as Atlanta took the rubber game of the three-game series. Raisel Igelesias pitched the ninth for his 21st save. Chicago has now lost six of its last seven games and 13 of its last 16. Waldrep (4-0) in the fifth start of his career allowed just four hits and walked one. White Sox starter Martin Perez (1-3) pitched a strong 5 1/3 innings, giving up just three hits and one run while striking out five. Atlanta's Michael Harris II had his 12-game hitting streak come to a close after an 0 for 3 night at the plate. The Braves picked up their 10th win in their last 12 games while taking their fourth straight series victory. Even so, Atlanta finds itself 16 games back in the NL East standings. Iglesias threw his 12th straight closing inning without allowing a run. Waldrep has 24 strikeouts in just 24 2/3 innings pitched this season. Both teams get a day off before opening a new series. LHP Joey Wentz (4-3, 4.72 ERA) is expected to take the mound for Atlanta against the Mets, while RHP Aaron Civale (3-8, 4.88) gets the start for Chicago against the Twins.

Key Takeaways For CIOs From Epic UGM 2025
Epic's latest UGM conference followed the industry trend: another major tech event dominated by AI agent announcements. CIOs are focusing on strategies that improve patient care, streamline operations, and strengthen data security in a digital-first environment. These three themes from the UGM conference not only stand out but also carry significant strategic implications for the future of healthcare IT. Ambient Solution Is a Commodity Ambient documentation has crossed into commodity territory. Epic is embedding an ambient solution through its Microsoft partnership as part of the EMR, cementing that reality, but questions remain. How will pricing shake out? And for organizations already piloting Microsoft Dragon Copilot, will physician-level customizations transfer cleanly, or will workflows need rebuilding? CIOs must factor that transition risk into every decision. Health systems that are investors with early-stage, ambient, standalone vendors won't jump ship quickly. Many will wait for a favorable exit because in venture capital and private equity, an exit is always a possibility. The real issue is timing and whether it aligns with CIOs' operational roadmaps. As ambient becomes standard, point-solution vendors face a make-or-break moment. They must layer on new capabilities, go deeper into the EHR, or pivot to adjacent problems. CIOs need to identify which partners have staying power once the ambient advantage disappears. Cosmos Cosmos is becoming Epic's crown jewel. With de-identified data from more than 300 million patients and 16 billion encounters, Epic sits on a prediction engine at unmatched scale. Its partnership with Yale and Microsoft Research produced CoMET, a model trained on 151 billion events that learns by forecasting the next step in a patient's health journey. Epic stress-tested the CoMET model across 78 real-world tasks, including diagnosis prediction, disease prognosis, and healthcare operations. The model performed just as well as or better than specialized predictive models without requiring much fine-tuning. CoMET will deliver tools like Median Length-of-Stay for Discharge Planning, pushing predictive AI straight into operations. As the dataset grows, the models get stronger, and stronger models deliver sharper insights. CIOs and healthcare operators must act now to embed these predictions into their operational workflow. Universal Patient ID Epic hasn't announced plans for a universal patient ID, but the pieces are in place and the path is clear. Patients juggling multiple MyChart accounts or moving across systems want one login. Epic announced MyChart Central, a feature that will allow patients to connect their records from different providers using a single Epic-issued ID. Through a partnership with CLEAR, patients can now verify their identity securely with biometrics. This integration streamlines account creation and recovery in both MyChart and EpicCare Link, cutting administrative workload while strengthening security across the enterprise. As more standalone solution capabilities fold into Epic's EMR platform, a larger question emerges: Will market consolidation leave enough competition to drive real innovation? Healthcare leaders must balance the appeal of a comprehensive solution with the industry's need for diverse and inventive players.
