Bupa CareConnect signs four global partnerships
Bupa CareConnect, the healthcare delivery arm of Bupa Arabia, announced the signing of four strategic partnership agreements with global health tech companies, namely GOQii, Comarch, Nuralogix, and We Healthify. These partnerships will expand the scope of digital services and enhance the quality of healthcare for members within the Kingdom. The announcement came during Bupa CareConnect's participation as a gold sponsor at the 6th MENA Telehealth and Virtual Care Expo 2025, held recently in Riyadh. The agreements were signed under the patronage of the Ministry of Health and Seha Virtual Hospital, and in the presence of prominent leaders and experts in healthcare, innovation, and technology from around the world. These partnerships and sponsorship of the conference come following Bupa CareConnect's recent receipt of two awards from the Council of Health Insurance: Digital Innovation for Private Sector Providers and Innovative Sustainability for Private Sector Providers. Bupa CareConnect became the first private sector provider to receive these honors, reflecting its position as a key driver of innovation and digital transformation in Saudi Arabia's healthcare sector. Bupa Arabia showcased a range of its innovative digital solutions during the conference through Bupa CareConnect, most notably the Digital Clinic Pod, and AI-powered intelligent care services, in addition to its integrated digital application. On the second day of the conference, Dr. Abdullah Khafagy, executive medical director at Bupa CareConnect, participated as a keynote speaker in a session titled 'Managing Virtual Care for Chronic Conditions,' during which he reviewed Bupa Arabia's experience in improving patients' lives using advanced digital technologies. He highlighted the 'Bupa Pro' program, which eliminated the need for prior medical approvals, contributing to faster access to care and enhancing the patient experience. Khafagy emphasized that its participation in the Virtual Healthcare Conference affirms its commitment to supporting digital transformation in the healthcare sector, aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. He expressed pride in offering an integrated care model focused on easy access to healthcare services and delivering the highest quality treatment, while harnessing modern technologies such as AI to predict medical conditions and provide proactive responses that ensure prevention and improve health outcomes. Tal Nazer, CEO of Bupa Arabia, said: 'At Bupa Arabia, our vision is to redefine the future of healthcare through continuous innovation, global partnerships, and a patient-first approach. These international collaborations are a key step in fulfilling our promise to deliver world-class healthcare solutions to the Kingdom.' Nazer added: 'Our international partnerships with leading health technology pioneers reflect our commitment to delivering world-class healthcare solutions within the Kingdom, as we believe the optimal healthcare experience is one that balances technological advancement with a human touch.' This conference is considered a leading regional platform to drive digital transformation in the healthcare sector and to promote the adoption of value-based virtual care models. It also represents an important opportunity to expand frameworks for international cooperation, exchange expertise, and explore innovative health solutions. This is supported by prestigious international organizations such as the WHO, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and the American Telemedicine Association.

Health in space: crucial for Saudi Arabia's journey beyond Earth
We are now closer to the vastness of space than ever before. More nations are expressing interest and participating in space activities. Additionally, more astronauts are venturing into space, with exploration no longer limited to select countries but opening up to many nations and even individuals. Public-private partnerships are transforming the space sector, with companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic offering opportunities for private citizens to travel to space. Increasing international collaboration is also playing a key role. Saudi Arabia's first mission took the first Muslim and Arab astronaut, Prince Sultan bin Salman, into space aboard NASA's Discovery Shuttle. More recently, Ali Al-Qarni and Rayyanah Barnawi — the first female Arab in space — participated in the Axiom-2 mission. Saudi Arabia is also a signatory to the Artemis Accords, along with more than 50 other nations, paving the way for deep space and lunar missions and research. International cooperation is expanding opportunities for other countries as well; Pakistan was recently announced as the first foreign nation to have a citizen conduct research on China's space station. Being an international space medicine and health educator, mentor, and researcher, I would like to highlight that a critical prerequisite at the core of all future human missions is the health and well-being of the humans in space. This is especially important as Saudi Arabia advances its space sector, furthering research and its astronaut program in support of Vision 2030. In my recent publication in one of the world's distinguished scientific journals, I focused on keeping astronauts healthy in space. It highlights the human physiological, health, and psychological challenges inherent in space. The publication also explores the specific complexities of deep space environments, where scientific understanding of human health, sustained radiation exposure, and other unprecedented difficulties remains notably limited. Key challenges in deep space missions include studies showing significantly higher daily radiation exposure on the lunar and Martian surfaces compared to Earth. We must also develop innovative approaches for healthcare delivery in space. Traditionally reliant on telemedicine and Earth-based support, such systems face major limitations due to communication delays — with signals between Mars and Earth taking up to 20 minutes one way — making Earth-dependent care inefficient in medical emergencies. One solution is to incorporate advanced artificial intelligence for autonomous medical assistance, a domain in which Saudi Arabia is actively investing through initiatives like its National Strategy for Data and AI. Another key area of concern is the mood and mental health challenges. Human missions to Mars will face many stressors, including the long duration away from loved ones, with the trip itself taking around 7–10 months in a confined space. I have heard some find it tiring to drive from Jeddah to Riyadh in a car for almost 10 hours — so how would you feel being stuck in that limited space non-stop for 10 months? Reflecting on confined space, I am reminded of Prince Sultan's quote about his mission: 'You miss space most in space.' My deep interest and experience in space medicine and health originate from a foundational conviction — reinforced by being a medical doctor, academic, and space medicine educator and researcher — that the optimal health of astronauts will always take precedence in any human space mission, regardless of how advanced our engineering, policies, or propulsion systems are. If an astronaut's health is compromised, even the most technologically advanced mission will be put on hold. No crewed space mission would receive approval until we ensure astronauts' health and well-being can be maintained throughout the mission. Consequently, space medicine, life sciences, and health are not merely significant; they are absolutely indispensable for Saudi Arabia's future in space. For these reasons, I strongly recommend that Saudi Arabia prioritize developing its own robust capabilities in this field. Establishing national capacity in this critical domain is crucial for future endeavors, and I am ready to bring my expertise to help develop and drive this vision forward. — Dr. Farhan M. Asrar is a Canadian physician, academic, and space medicine researcher. He is associate dean at Toronto Metropolitan University's School of Medicine and holds senior faculty/leadership roles at the University of Toronto and International Space University.
