Global Perspectives: Partnering for Progress—Redefining Healthcare Delivery in Europe
I think of September and October as my “holy months.” I stay close to my office and home in Los Angeles and Houston to savor family, friends, college football and the glorious American sports calendar. By the time November arrived this year, I was recharged and flying into an incredibly energizing work schedule overseas.

It started with an exciting and busy work week in Europe. The first law of global health never changes: We learn best when we learn from each other. London, Geneva and Madrid each had a story to tell about the current state of healthcare in the United Kingdom and Europe, where old systems are straining and market‑responsive models are emerging.

My first stop was London for the board meeting of our newly established Cedars‑Sinai clinic in London and meetings with our partners at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. Our Cedars‑Sinai clinic on Wimpole Street is now fully operational and the state-of-the-art flagship facility is on schedule to open next spring in the Harley Street Health District.

We had invigorating conversations about the future with leadership across London. It was my privilege to meet Amanda Pritchard, the new chief executive of Guy’s and St Thomas, who until recently led NHS England. Her message was candid: The public system remains the bedrock of British healthcare, but to remain viable it needs sustainable new revenue streams and elevated clinical offerings. She and her colleagues don’t view private care as a threat. Instead, done thoughtfully and in partnership, it will be part of the answer.

This was music to our ears. Cedars‑Sinai International’s goal is to complement the NHS, not compete with it.

From London, I flew to Geneva for the International Hospital Federation’s (IHF) World Hospital Congress. The IHF was created almost 100 years ago and has been historically quite Eurocentric. No longer. Under the leadership of CEO Ron Lavater, an American with deep experience at HCA Healthcare and Johns Hopkins Medicine and in the United Arab Emirates health sector, the IHF has gone increasingly global.

The energy at this year’s congress was fantastic, with delegates from six continents, Gulf institutions playing leading roles and a program that blended rigorous academic exchange with practical problem‑solving. I was on a patient-centered care panel with European hospital leaders and a patient advocate. They described the challenging realities on the ground—long waiting lists, workforce exhaustion, budget pressures—yet the room was alive with optimism. People are no longer just describing problems; they are working together to create solutions. IHF is championing the global nature of 21st century healthcare and navigating its headwinds.


Madrid was electrifying. If London is carefully recalibrating and Geneva is taking stock, Madrid is surging forward. Globalization and post‑pandemic realities have intensified expectations for service, speed and experience in healthcare. Private capital is flowing in to create new hospitals and clinics.

Through luck, serendipity and maybe a bit of planning, my life these days is filled with global healthcare, brilliant colleagues and football (all kinds), of course. My stay in Madrid was enriched by two legendary European football clubs: Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. At the Santiago Bernabéu, we were graciously hosted by Anas Laghrari, the strategic right hand of club president Florentino Pérez and widely seen as a future leader of Real Madrid. The club is owned by its 100,000 “socios”—members of the public—and functions as a civic institution as much as a sporting one. Their ambition is far‑reaching: integrating world-class healthcare and wellness into their ecosystem to benefit elite athletes and the broader community. The following day, we met with the leadership of Atlético Madrid, including the club’s long-serving medical director José Maria Villalón, who also cares for the Spanish national team. We spoke about the importance of health and wellness for the community beyond elite athletes, as well as the critical need for more rigorous standards and accreditation in sports medicine.

Those two days left me on cloud nine. The conversations with these two legendary organizations revolved around creating high‑value, high-touch care for athletes who routinely travel the globe and then bringing that level of excellence to everyday patients.

Madrid gave me a kinetic reminder of how interconnected our world has become. The U.S. National Football League took over the Bernabéu for a regular‑season game between the Washington Commanders and the Miami Dolphins during our stay. As a crazed fan of both American football and soccer, it was downright thrilling to watch the American gladiators churn up the same turf where Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. dance.

Europe is undergoing a tectonic shift in the relationship between public and private healthcare. Leaders in public systems who once viewed private medicine with suspicion are now asking how they can harness private innovation and investment without diminishing the physician‑patient relationship or sacrificing institutional equity. Purely corporate models will not be the answer. Sooner or later, unfettered profit-seeking erodes trust. Public systems are looking for allies, not adversaries.

Cedars‑Sinai International believes in collaboration. We listen with care to local physicians, nurses and patients and then offer clinical expertise, operational rigor and patient‑centric systems that measure success by the benefits they provide to the people in our care. In London, we work inside the NHS system. In Madrid, we are exploring how an academic medical center rooted in compassionate, physician-led care could produce something entirely new for a global sporting community.

Every trip I take shows me that the future of global healthcare doesn’t belong to any single country or model. It belongs to those who are willing to cross barriers—geographic, cultural, ideological—with open minds and hearts and a genuine desire to serve patients.

When I returned to Los Angeles, I felt grateful for the tireless colleagues who travel these roads with me and our partners around the world, who keep teaching us what excellence looks like in different cultures. We’re on a vital path together. Healthcare is becoming more collaborative, more patient‑centered and more human. It’s a new day.

Global Perspectives: Soaring Above the Turbulence

Probably against my better judgement, I've been scrolling through the news lately and, like almost everyone I know, I’m uneasy. Geopolitical tensions are flaring and wars rage, markets are unpredictable, technology surges ahead, often for the better, sometimes not. All in all, there’s a level of volatility I haven’t seen in my more than 20 years in global healthcare. When I remind myself to step back and take a few deep breaths, three threads emerge: the chaos around us, the enduring pull of globalization and the phenomenal resilience of global healthcare.

First thread: the chaos. I remember 9/11 vividly. I was a surgery resident in the ICU. We cared for our patients as TVs blared the unfolding horror. My wife and I, both young doctors with a toddler in daycare, worried about our family's safety and where the world was headed. I was already thinking internationally, and the shockwaves were hitting everywhere. Then came the 2008 financial crisis. Headlines sounded the alarm that healthcare as we knew it, especially in developing places like the UAE and broader GCC, would be radically destabilized. After all, the world economy was crumbling, wasn’t it? How could health systems survive?

I’m grateful to say that health systems didn’t just survive, they thrived. From 2010 to 2015, dynamism surged in the GCC. China felt like the next great frontier for collaboration fueled by massive investments, international partnerships and turbocharged innovation. Asia was buzzing. Then, in rapid succession, the populist wave hit, pushback on globalization grew loud, COVID‑19 locked us all down and every system was tested to its limits.

Volatility. Chaos. Dynamism.

The second thread: globalization and its fundamental resilience. Despite the pushback, the long‑term trajectory has been upward. Humans are more connected than ever. No amount of regionalization in business, politics or otherwise is going to unwind that. Partnerships are forming, trade is flowing, ideas cross borders, and supply chains link us. Amid retrenchment and uncertainty, globalization continues. This is 2026, after all. We are the world.

Here is where the third thread, global healthcare, comes alive for me. Through all the upheavals, healthcare keeps advancing. Do we have perfect systems? No. But in spite of the chaos, we've all stayed remarkably resilient. Wars, recessions, pandemics: We outlast them all. Our work is resistant to natural disasters and man‑made ones alike. Post-9/11, health systems adapted and grew. The financial crisis? Healthcare boomed. Populism and COVID-19? We innovated vaccines at warp speed, shared data globally and kept hospitals running. Today, cross-cultural synergy is growing and AI and data analytics are transforming medicine. We're not just treating sickness anymore. We're wrapping our arms around wellness and our ultimate goal: keeping people and communities healthy. Healthcare's universality transcends divides. It draws in expertise and challenges our biases and preconceptions. That plays out every day at Cedars-Sinai International and in our partnerships that merge public and private models and blend academic rigor with local insight. Partnerships adjust. Models evolve. Healthcare inspires collaboration.

I saw that resilience firsthand on my recent trip to Asia. In China, geopolitical tensions with the U.S. are acute, but healthcare collaboration has not deteriorated. It has evolved. Cedars‑Sinai’s partnership at Shenzhen Qianhai Taikang Hospital, now in its 18th month since hospital opening, is a textbook study in pragmatic adaptation. Initially positioned as a U.S.-branded international hub, Taikang leadership has shifted the hospital to a more regional focus, drawing patients from Hong Kong, Macau and the region while keeping its international aspirations alive and ready for a reconnected future. Government investments are pouring into public hospitals as the country turns inward, yet private players like Taikang are not retreating. They are regionalizing smartly, blending local trust with global know-how. The headlines shout tension, but collaboration endures. The glow of global synergy may have dimmed for now, but clinicians keep learning from one another, systems still improve with shared expertise and, most importantly, patients continue to benefit.

In Vietnam, there’s momentum everywhere. This vibrant nation of 100 million people is booming with private healthcare energy, positioning itself as an alternative to China and Thailand. The rapidly growing private healthcare sector is finding its footing, fueled by local vision and global collaboration. In Ho Chi Minh City, new providers are blending international expertise with deeply rooted local leadership. They’re distinctly Vietnamese, built for their own communities, yet informed by global standards. Thanks to an introduction by Apex, our Qatari partners, and U.K.‑based investor Real Capital London, I had an opportunity to see these ecosystems taking shape. A clinic is already up and running and land has been secured in Saigon's emerging financial district for a major hospital, with Apex and Cedars-Sinai positioned to provide specialized expertise to serve local and traveling patients.

In its own way, Japan, with its family‑run legacies like the Kameda Medical Group (in continuous operation since 1644, with a century-old hospital in Chiba and a high-end clinic in Ginza, Tokyo), is expanding. While continuing to honor their patients’ propensity to be seen by Japanese doctors, Kameda is working with U.S. systems like the Global Healthcare Accreditation and Medical Tourism Association network to tap medical travel and exchange knowledge and attract regional and international patients. They are staying true to their heritage as they elevate their excellence through collaboration with global brands like Cedars-Sinai.

Healthcare's strength lies in its humanity. Public systems strained by waiting lists and budgets are turning to new partnerships for innovation without losing their core equity. Private players are succeeding when they prioritize patients over pure profit, building trust through physician‑led, compassionate care. We're crossing geographic, cultural and ideological barriers because patients need and demand quality and excellence. Wellness initiatives are shifting us from reactive to proactive, fostering healthier communities even as the world churns. AI promises precision medicine tailored to individuals, predictive tools to prevent disease and data platforms that connect providers worldwide.

So yes, the chaos feels unprecedented, but healthcare keeps rising above the cacophony, and as long as we stay true to our common mission to bring collaborative, human‑centered healthcare to the world, we will keep rising. Despite all the turbulence, we live in astonishing times. I'm endlessly energized by our shared mission and grateful for the colleagues and partners across six continents who make it all possible. We're on this path together. Let's keep moving ahead.
