Considering the literacy rate of any country, academic systems are observed and recorded. The education system of a country is a result of multiple parameters, and the inclusiveness of these parameters determines the future of education, prosperity of a state, and its standing in the global arena.
The Global South is facing a significant gap compared to the Global North with respect to education, research, and development. Students, being the primary subjects in the world of education, lack proper academic environments for creativity and research. Many states are working towards promoting education, as it is an essential part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Only an educated society can bring peace to the international community. States are rich with natural resources, and students who have a desire to acquire more knowledge and contribute to research are one of those natural resources.
Nationals of any Global South state, as students, strive to reach basic education by any means necessary. When they look towards their own educational institutions, they are surrounded by a wave of hopelessness as the institutions that are supposed to provide them with world-class education and prepare them for international competition are not delivering satisfactory results.
A major concern for students is the lack of teaching basic skills and rights, such as time management and smart study, and the polishing of individual skills. At the same time, students face a shortage of proper career counseling and guidance systems. After completing basic education, students feel clueless about their academic life, unable to figure out their interests and the available platforms.
Over time, the culture of scholarships and social media campaigns have attempted to minimize the gap between students and opportunities. Global powers are offering free education to nationals of developing states to contribute equally. Cultural and linguistic differences play a significant role in obtaining scholarships, such as language proficiency tests conducted by many institutions. Among these tests, English as the international language is mostly tested through the GRE and IELTS. The GRE is considered one of the toughest tests, but with the advent of the internet, platforms such as Scholar Den have emerged.
Scholar Den, founded by Faisal khan, distinguishes itself from its competitors by offering the most up-to-date resources based on recent GRE trends. It uses data-driven techniques to provide personalized study plans for its users to prepare more efficiently. By employing automation and artificial intelligence, Scholar Den is able to do so at a fraction of the price charged by existing market companies, making it much more affordable. It offers resources for every stage of test preparation and adapts its plan according to the user’s performance.
More students are turning to platforms like Scholar Den, which is structured to accommodate students by keeping their ease in mind. Scholar Den, Inc. is an Internet-Based Prep Program for the GRE® General Test authorized by ETS. It has developed this program using authentic test questions from the GRE® General Test editions and creating additional practice and exercises based on the licensed test content by ETS.
The growing culture of scams and bad education is looting a significant amount of money from students, but platforms like Scholar Den are trustworthy. The creation of a group of people who are genuinely concerned about the success of new learners, especially students who achieve the Fulbright scholarship, one of the most prestigious academic opportunities, inspires other candidates to further their education in the world’s best institutions.
Only such opportunities can reduce the devastating gap between students, education, and national development. Knowing the availability of better platforms is a basic right for students everywhere, regardless of their financial status, ethnic background, or nationality.

WHO in Africa: Three Ways the Continent Stands to Lose from Trump’s Decision to Pull Out
Published

Editor
The World Health Organization (WHO) is the only organisation with the membership, authority and credibility to promote health worldwide. US president Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the US from the UN body will have huge implications for global health programmes and governance. It will hit the African continent hard. HIV/Aids and polio programmes will suffer, as will drives to stamp out epidemics like mpox and Marburg. Global health experts Lawrence O. Gostin and Alexandra Finch explain the consequences.
President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO) will be keenly felt across the globe, with profound implications for health in Africa. In the executive order putting the withdrawal process in place, Trump also paused the transfer of US funds, support and resources to the WHO.
Trump’s executive order is his second attempt to pull the US out of the agency. He has also complained that the US financial contribution to the international organisation is “onerous”. The biggest impacts will come from the loss of US funding. The US is by far the WHO’s largest state donor, contributing approximately 18% of the agency’s total funding.
The WHO’s funding is split into two tranches. There are assessed contributions: countries’ membership fees, to which all WHO members agree and over which the WHO has full control. The US accounts for 22%, or US$264 million of these, for the current 2024/25 budget. The US is yet to pay the WHO its assessed contributions for 2024 and 2025. Withdrawing from the organisation without paying these fees would violate US law and must be challenged in the US courts.
Then there are voluntary contributions: donations by member countries, foundations and other sources, usually earmarked to that donor’s priorities. The US contributes 16%, or US$442 million, of all voluntary contributions. In the case of the US, these priorities include HIV/AIDS, polio eradication and health emergencies.
As experts in global health law, we are deeply concerned about the impacts of this order, which will be far reaching. The US withdrawal from the WHO threatens core health programmes in Africa. It will weaken the ability of African countries to respond to health emergencies, and could lead to increases in death and illness on the continent. It will also have broader implications for leadership and governance in global health.
Impact on core programmes
Trump’s decision to withdraw comes at a time when the WHO’s health priorities in Africa were already underfunded. Eight of 12 areas were funded less than 50% earlier this year. Twenty-seven percent of all US funding through the WHO for the African region goes to polio eradication, 20% supports improved access to quality essential health services, and much of the balance goes to pandemic preparedness and response.
The WHO/US partnership has long supported the HIV/AIDS response in Africa, but the redirection and reduction in funds could reduce the availability of prevention, testing and treatment programmes across the continent. This threatens progress to end AIDS by 2030. The funding gap will also have an impact on programmes designed to increase access to quality essential health services, including the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis and malaria, and child and maternal health services.
If the WHO is forced to cut back on these services due to a lack of financing, it could lead to increases in mortality and morbidity in Africa. European countries filled the financing gap in 2020 when Trump last withheld US funding from the WHO. But it is unlikely that they will be able to do so again, as countries across Europe are facing their own geopolitical and financial challenges.
The WHO’s budget was already thinly spread, and its mandate keeps growing. Through its new investment round, the WHO raised US$1.7 billion in pledges, and is expecting another US$2.1 billion through partnerships and other agreements. Yet even before the US president’s executive order, this left a funding gap of approximately US$3.3 billion (or 47%) for the WHO’s 2025-2028 strategy. If the gap left by the loss of US funding cannot be filled from other sources, it will fall to African nations to fund health programmes and services that are cut, placing a greater strain on governments reckoning with limited fiscal space.
Weakened response to health emergencies
Trump’s decision comes at a pivotal moment for health in Africa, which is experiencing major outbreaks. The US has been a key actor supporting WHO-led emergency responses to outbreaks. Last year, the US partnered with the WHO and Rwanda to rapidly bring a Marburg outbreak under control. The Marburg virus continues to threaten the continent. Tanzania has just confirmed an outbreak.
Earlier in August 2024, the WHO and Africa Centres for Disease Control each declared mpox on the continent to be a public health emergency. The Biden administration delivered 60,000 vaccines, pledged 1 million more, and contributed over US$22 million to support capacity building and vaccination. But now US health officials have been instructed to immediately stop working with the WHO, preventing US teams in Africa from responding to Marburg virus and mpox.
Even before these outbreaks, the US supported WHO-led emergency responses to COVID-19, Ebola and HIV/AIDS. The US withdrawal could lead to increased transmission, sickness and death in vulnerable regions. Similarly, strong partnership between the WHO and the US has helped build health system capacities in Africa for public health emergencies.
US experts have supported nearly half of all WHO joint external evaluation missions to assess countries’ pandemic preparedness and response capacities under the International Health Regulations. This is a binding WHO agreement to help countries prepare for, detect and initially respond to health emergencies globally. The US withdrawal from the WHO risks eroding these efforts, though it may also accelerate a regionalisation of health security already underway in Africa, led by the African Union through the Africa CDC.
Restructuring of governance
The US was instrumental in establishing the WHO and shaping WHO norms and standards, in particular driving amendments to the International Health Regulations adopted in June 2024. This included improved obligations to facilitate the rapid sharing of information between the WHO and countries.
The US has also been a key figure in ongoing negotiations for a new international treaty, a Pandemic Agreement. This would create new rights and obligations to prevent, prepare for and respond to pandemics with elements that go beyond the International Health Regulations. These include obligations on the equitable sharing of vaccines.
Trump’s executive order would prevent these instruments from being implemented or enforced in the US. This would only entrench inequitable dynamics when the next global health emergency breaks out, given the concentration of global pharmaceutical companies in the US.
The order also pulls the US out of the Pandemic Agreement negotiations. This will inevitably create new diplomatic dynamics. Optimistically, this could provide enhanced opportunities for African nations to strengthen their position on equity. The US departure from the WHO will create a leadership vacuum, ushering in a restructuring of power and alliances for global health.
This vacuum could cede influence to US adversaries, opening the door to even greater Chinese influence on the African continent. But it also presents opportunities for greater African leadership in global health, which could strengthen African self-reliance. Trump has directed the US to find “credible and transparent” partners to assume the activities the WHO would have performed. And yet there is no substitute for the WHO, with its worldwide reach and stature.
For more than 75 years, the WHO has been, and remains, the only global health organisation with the membership, authority, expertise and credibility to protect and promote health for the world’s population. For this reason, the African Union, among scores of other bodies and leaders, has already urged Trump to reconsider. It is now time for the global community to stand up for the WHO and ensure its vital health work in Africa and beyond can thrive.

How Iran is Strengthening Its Medical Tourism Industry with a Focus on Islamic Healthcare
Published

Baba Yunus Muhammad
Despite enduring international sanctions and economic challenges—factors that often constrain a nation’s healthcare capacity—Iran’s medical tourism sector is emerging as a dynamic force, particularly for Muslim patients. Sanctions can limit access to advanced medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and international collaboration, yet Iran has adeptly navigated these barriers to sustain and even enhance its healthcare capabilities. This resilience underscores the strategic initiatives that have enabled Iran to maintain high standards while offering culturally and religiously tailored services, including halal-certified pharmaceuticals and same-gender healthcare providers. By offering culturally and religiously tailored services such as halal-certified pharmaceuticals, same-gender healthcare providers, and adherence to Islamic values, Iran is carving out a unique niche in the global healthcare market.
In 2024 alone, the nation attracted around 1.2 million medical tourists, contributing an estimated $1 billion to its economy, according to state media. This demonstrates not only the growing appeal of Iran’s healthcare system but also the broader global demand for affordable, high-quality medical services that respect cultural and religious sensitivities.
The Rising Demand for Medical Tourism
Medical tourism has become a global phenomenon, driven by several factors, including high treatment costs, lengthy waiting times, and limited insurance coverage in many countries. Iran, with its competitive pricing and high standards of care, offers a compelling alternative. A 2020 study revealed that medical treatments in Iran cost up to 65% less than in the United States and 40% less than in Western Europe. For Muslim patients, the added benefit of receiving care aligned with Islamic principles further strengthens Iran’s appeal.
Islamic Healthcare: A Key Differentiator
Iran’s approach to medical tourism goes beyond affordability and quality by integrating Islamic principles into its healthcare services, a strategy that stands out even among other Muslim-majority nations. Unlike many countries where Islamic influence in healthcare is minimal or implicit, Iran’s deliberate and holistic incorporation of these principles extends across all facets of patient care, from halal-certified medications to culturally sensitive treatment environments. This comprehensive approach not only aligns with the ethical and spiritual needs of Muslim patients but also positions Iran as a global frontrunner in Islamic healthcare tourism. This has positioned the country as a leader in “Islamic healthcare tourism,” addressing a significant gap in the global market for healthcare that respects Muslim values.
- Halal Pharmaceuticals and Products: Iran ensures the availability of halal-certified medications and medical products, such as gelatin-free capsules and alcohol-free syrups, which adhere to Islamic dietary and ethical standards. This specificity helps build trust among patients seeking compliance with their religious values. For Muslim patients, this eliminates concerns about consuming or using products derived from prohibited sources.
- Gender-Sensitive Healthcare: Recognizing the importance of modesty in Islam, Iran’s hospitals and clinics offer same-gender healthcare providers for sensitive treatments. This practice not only respects Islamic values but also fosters trust and comfort among patients.
- Culturally Appropriate Environments: Healthcare facilities in Iran are designed to accommodate the needs of Muslim families, including prayer rooms, halal meals, and privacy-conscious spaces. These features make the country especially attractive to conservative Muslim communities.
- Integration with Religious Practices: Many medical tourists combine treatments with visits to Iran’s sacred Islamic sites. Cities like Mashhad, home to the holy shrine of Imam Reza, offer a blend of spiritual and physical healing, making the journey both meaningful and holistic.
Expanding Healthcare Infrastructure
To support its growing medical tourism industry, Iran has made significant investments in healthcare infrastructure. Currently, 247 hospitals and medical centers are licensed to treat international patients, with specialized departments staffed by multilingual professionals to ensure seamless communication.
“The Iranian government has prioritized medical tourism as part of its broader economic diversification strategy,” says Mohammadreza Sheikhy-Chaman, a health economics expert. By modernizing facilities and introducing cutting-edge technologies like CyberKnife systems for advanced treatments, Iran is positioning itself as a hub for specialized care. This strategy is intricately linked with broader economic policies, such as boosting foreign exchange earnings, enhancing healthcare infrastructure, and fostering partnerships with international stakeholders. Furthermore, the government’s focus on streamlining visa procedures for patients and their companions strengthens its position in the global market, creating a more accessible and appealing medical tourism environment.
These advancements are complemented by streamlined visa procedures for patients and their companions, making travel to Iran more accessible and hassle-free.
Key Medical Services and Specialties
Iran offers a wide range of medical services that attract patients from across the globe, distinguishing itself through competitive pricing, high-quality care, and innovative specialties. Compared to regional and global competitors, Iranian providers excel in delivering cost-effective treatments without compromising on quality. For instance, advanced orthopedic surgeries and organ transplants in Iran often outperform many countries in both affordability and success rates. Moreover, the country’s innovation in areas like minimally invasive procedures and fertility technologies adds to its appeal on the global stage. Popular treatments include:
- Cosmetic Procedures: Iran has gained a reputation as a global hub for aesthetic surgeries, including rhinoplasty, earning the nickname “nose job capital of the world.”
- Fertility Treatments: With advanced reproductive technologies and ethical practices rooted in Islamic law, Iran is a leading destination for fertility care.
- Orthopedic and Organ Transplants: High success rates and affordable costs make these treatments particularly appealing.
- Traditional and Alternative Therapies: Regions like Uramanat in Kurdistan province are known for their rare medicinal plants and traditional remedies, offering unique alternative therapies.
Medical Tourism and Cultural Integration
Iran’s cultural and religious heritage adds another layer of appeal for medical tourists. The country’s major medical hubs—Tehran, Shiraz, Mashhad, and Isfahan—are also rich in history and culture. Hospitals and facilitators now offer packages that combine medical treatments with cultural and religious experiences.
For example, patients undergoing surgery in Shiraz can explore the ancient ruins of Persepolis or visit the tombs of renowned poets Hafez and Saadi. In Mashhad, medical tourists often visit the holy shrine of Imam Reza, blending spiritual rejuvenation with physical recovery.
A Hub for Muslim Medical Tourists
Iran’s alcohol-free policies, strict adherence to Islamic dress codes, and emphasis on halal tourism make it a natural choice for Muslim families seeking healthcare. These factors, combined with the country’s shared language and cultural ties with neighboring nations, such as Iraq, Turkiye, and Azerbaijan, enhance its appeal.
“Many Muslim medical tourists view their journey as more than just a health-related trip—it’s an opportunity to deepen their spiritual connection and explore Islamic history,” says Mohammad Amin Shakeri, CEO of Elajiran Medical Tourism.
Hospitals and tourism agencies are increasingly offering all-inclusive packages that address patients’ medical needs while enriching their recovery period with guided tours, bazaars, and sacred sites.
Conclusion: A Holistic Approach to Medical Tourism
Iran’s integration of Islamic values into its medical tourism sector sets it apart in the global healthcare market. By offering affordable, high-quality care in a culturally and religiously sensitive environment, the country has successfully positioned itself as a leading destination for Muslim medical tourists.
As Iran continues to modernize its healthcare infrastructure and expand its range of services, it is poised to become a model for Islamic healthcare tourism. Its ability to seamlessly combine medical, cultural, and spiritual experiences ensures that patients leave not only healthier but also enriched by their journey—a promise of healing in every sense of the word.

Kano State: The Stark Realities of Healthcare in Crisis and a Vision for Change
Published
2 months agoon
December 16, 2024By
EditorBy Baba Yunus Muhammad
In the heart of Baita, a rural village in the Gezawa Local Government Area of Kano state, families face a desperate reality. For them, healthcare is not just a service—it’s a matter of life and death. One community leader, Rabi’u Abdulmuminu, shared a gut-wrenching personal account of the grave situation. His wife, heavily pregnant, was about to deliver their child when the most unimaginable tragedy occurred—one that could have been averted if healthcare facilities were better.
Rabi’u recounted the events with painful clarity. “It was late at night when my wife started to go into labor. But we soon realized there was a problem—she was struggling terribly due to the lack of proper medical care,” he said, his voice tinged with sorrow. “We had no choice but to rush her to the nearest hospital in Gezawa, but by the time we arrived, my wife had already lost the child. The baby passed away in her womb before we could even reach the hospital.”
The Stark Reality of Healthcare in Baita
The lack of reliable healthcare facilities in Baita is not a new problem. In fact, the existing Primary Health Centre (PHC), located just a few kilometers from the community, has been in a dilapidated state for years. “We fear that any day now, the PHC will collapse. Its walls are crumbling, the roof is leaking, and there is simply no equipment to treat patients,” said Alkasim Isiyaku, the Hakimi (traditional leader) of Baita. “We’ve written countless letters to the government asking them to repair and upgrade our healthcare center, but there has been no response. We’re literally watching lives slip away every day.”
The residents of Baita, already burdened by poor infrastructure, had to make a heartbreaking decision: they abandoned their clinic due to safety concerns, leaving it to deteriorate even further. In its place, the people of Baita and neighboring communities turned to a local two-room shop, transformed into a makeshift healthcare facility. While this small space might not have been ideal, it was their only option. Hajiya Zuwaira, a community activist and businesswoman, donated her shop to serve as a temporary health clinic in the absence of the failed public system.
“I couldn’t stand to watch women give birth with no care, knowing their lives were at risk. It’s why I decided to turn my shop into a small health post,” Hajiya Zuwaira shared. Her words reflect the painful truth of many communities across rural Kano and Nigeria as a whole: residents are often forced to step in where the government has failed.
Yet even with the makeshift space, the situation is still far from ideal. Women like Zainab find themselves in life-threatening situations due to lack of access to emergency services and vital care. Zainab’s story is no less devastating: “I have lost two children during childbirth due to poor medical facilities. I tried all I could to seek help, but the nearest hospital was miles away, and by the time I got there, it was too late,” she tearfully explained. For families like hers, having a proper health facility could have meant a different outcome, with the possibility of seeing their children thrive.
The Healthcare Crisis in Kano: A Regional Problem
Kano State, a commercial hub and Nigeria’s second most populous State, faces a crisis not just in maternal health but across a wide array of medical needs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Nigeria’s maternal mortality rate stands at an alarming 814 deaths per 100,000 live births, one of the highest in the world. Kano’s rural population suffers the brunt of these numbers, where medical attention is often scarce.
Diseases like malaria, cholera, pneumonia, and diarrhea are rampant, killing thousands of children every year. The lack of access to vaccines, malaria treatment, and even basic prenatal care leads to preventable deaths, especially in villages like Baita where healthcare services are non-existent or inadequate.
These numbers paint a grim picture. However, it is not too late to make a difference, and initiatives like the Africa Healthcare Infrastructure Development Program (AHIDEP) provide a ray of hope amidst these hardships. With a strategic approach, AHIDEP aims to tackle many of these challenges head-on by reimagining the way healthcare is delivered in communities like Baita and across Kano State.
AHIDEP: A Solution for Transforming Kano’s Healthcare
The Africa Healthcare Infrastructure Development Program (AHIDEP), a flagship initiative of the Africa Islamic Economic Forum (AFRIEF), aims to revitalize primary healthcare in Africa by harnessing the latest technologies and Islamic finance. The initiative looks to overhaul inadequate healthcare systems and improve health outcomes across the continent—an endeavor that could be a game-changer for Kano state.
Through AHIDEP’s model, rural areas like Baita could gain access to quality medical care through remote consultations, digital health services, and better-equipped healthcare providers. These interventions have the potential to reverse the heartbreaking statistics surrounding maternal and child mortality.
A Future Shaped by Technology
One of the main components of AHIDEP is its collaboration with Glocal Healthcare Services—a major Indian healthcare technology provider. Glocal’s digital dispensary solutions and telemedicine infrastructure can dramatically extend healthcare coverage, allowing patients in remote areas to access care without the need to travel long distances.
By integrating telemedicine into the healthcare system, AHIDEP could help fill the void left by the shortage of trained professionals and improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases at a distance. For women like Zainab and Rabi’u, telemedicine could mean instant access to medical consultations, preventive services, and emergency assistance—all of which can save lives before it’s too late.
Real-Time Impact: Training Local Healthcare Professionals
AHIDEP’s model also includes training programs for local healthcare workers, allowing them to effectively manage local health challenges, identify warning signs, and provide treatment. With a stronger, better-equipped healthcare workforce, many health-related issues—such as child mortality and maternal health complications—can be addressed through early intervention.
Furthermore, with training on using digital healthcare tools, health workers can gain the expertise to monitor patients remotely, drastically improving the quality of care available in communities where resources are sparse.
The Role of Public-Private Partnerships and Government
While AHIDEP holds significant promise, the role of government at both the state and national levels is crucial. Immediate action is needed to revamp existing health infrastructure, fund the expansion of healthcare access in rural areas, and support partnerships like AHIDEP. Government must prioritize the health of its citizens by increasing healthcare budget allocations, improving healthcare policies, and ensuring that public health centers are well-maintained and equipped.
At the same time, private sector involvement, through initiatives like AHIDEP, is a necessary supplement to governmental efforts. Private enterprises, community leaders, and social entrepreneurs must also contribute to solutions. Hajiya Zuwaira‘s contribution of a shop-turned-health clinic is a powerful example of how individuals can fill gaps left by government. However, this is unsustainable in the long term, and larger scale, systemic reform is essential.
A Call for Change
The loss of life due to healthcare negligence in Baita and similar communities across Kano state is a tragedy that must not go unaddressed. The government must act decisively to address the healthcare crisis, but there is also a pivotal opportunity for initiatives like AHIDEP to spearhead the long-term transformation needed in the healthcare sector.
As Nigeria continues to battle high maternal and infant mortality rates, the launch and expansion of AHIDEP’s projects in Kano state could provide a model for other states across the country. By improving infrastructure, harnessing the power of technology, and empowering local communities, the devastating healthcare challenges in Kano can begin to be addressed, ensuring a healthier future for the state’s children and families.
We can only hope that, in the future, the stories coming from Kano State and other parts of Nigeria will no longer be those of avoidable deaths and suffering. With commitment and cooperation between the public and private sectors, as well as international partners, the people of Kano—and beyond—can look forward to a healthier, safer tomorrow
