RIADE, Arábia Saudita, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) nomeou recentemente o Dr. Björn Zoéga como CEO Interino, confirmando o seu empenho em promover e incentivar a excelência no cuidado da saúde. O Dr. Zoéga, conhecido por sua vasta experiência em gestão e políticas de saúde, se une a uma equipe dedicada em um momento em que o hospital continua a impulsionar iniciativas estratégicas importantes.

O KFSH&RC, líder em pesquisa médica e serviços clínicos, continua a atrair experiência global para reforçar sua visão de excelência em saúde. Com o envolvimento do Dr. Zoéga, o hospital dá seguimento à sua estratégia de transformação digital que visa aprimorar a eficiência operacional e aperfeiçoar o atendimento ao paciente. Sua experiência na promoção de colaborações internacionais, evidenciada no seu antigo cargo de presidente da European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) e com as iniciativas como a Join4ATMP, que visa promover o acesso a terapias inovadoras, alinha ainda mais os serviços do KFSH&RC às tendências globais de saúde.

Os principais projetos do KFSH&RC incluem a implantação de tecnologias digitais avançadas para agilizar o processo de atendimento ao paciente, adoção de modelos de atendimento inovadores e atualização das instalações. Esses esforços estratégicos visam aumentar o acesso aos serviços médicos e facilitar uma melhor comunicação, refletindo a dedicação do KFSH&RC em estabelecer novos padrões de saúde.

As contribuições anteriores do Dr. Zoéga no Karolinska University Hospital, que é o segundo melhor da Europa e o sétimo do mundo de acordo com o 2024 World's Best Hospitals da revista Newsweek, onde ele cultivou uma cultura de aprendizagem contínua e colaboração entre profissionais de saúde, alinham–se bem com os objetivos do KFSH&RC. O seu papel na promoção de programas como o EUCARE e na facilitação do intercâmbio de enfermeiros de cuidados intensivos em toda a Europa durante crises melhorou significativamente o desenvolvimento do pessoal e apoiou o objetivo do seu hospital anterior de atrair os melhores talentos – um princípio espelhado na jornada de transformação do KFSH&RC. Com o Dr. Zoéga contribuindo para a liderança, o KFSH&RC está pronto para promover seu papel como ator fundamental na formação do futuro dos cuidados de saúde na Arábia Saudita.

Sobre o King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre :

O King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre é dos líderes globais de prestação de cuidados de saúde especializados, condução de inovação, e um hubs avançado de pesquisa e educação médica. Por meio de parcerias estratégicas com proeminentes instituições locais, regionais e internacionais, o hospital se dedica ao avanço de tecnologias médicas e elevação dos padrões de cuidado da saúde em todo o mundo.

O hospital conquistou sua posição como marca líder no setor de saúde em todo o Reino e Oriente Médio, marcando seu segundo ano consecutivo como a marca de saúde mais valiosa. Ele ocupa o 9º lugar no Reino e o 28º no Oriente Médio. O hospital se distingue como o único hospital do mundo a ser listado entre as 10 principais marcas do seu país, de acordo com dois relatórios da “Brand Finance” sobre as 50 marcas mais valiosas da Arábia Saudita e as 150 marcas mais valiosas do Oriente Médio em 2024.

Devido aos programas de transformação e à Vision 2030 do Reino, lançados por Sua Alteza Real o Príncipe Herdeiro e pelo Primeiro–Ministro – que Deus o proteja – para aumentar a liderança do Reino no setor global de saúde, o KFSH&RC surgiu como um dos principais Centros Médicos Acadêmicos do Oriente Médio e da África. Ele permaneceu em 20º lugar no mundo pelo segundo ano consecutivo em 2024, de acordo com o “Brand Finance”. Além disso, ele foi classificado entre os melhores hospitais do mundo em 2024 pela revista americana “Newsweek”.

En pleine transformation stratégique, le King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre accueille un nouveau directeur général adjoint

RIYAD, Arabie saoudite, 14 mai 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — L’hôpital spécialisé et centre de recherche King Faisal, ou KFSH&RC pour King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre a récemment accueilli le Dr Björn Zoéga en tant que directeur général adjoint. Cette nomination souligne son engagement en faveur de la promotion et du maintien de l’excellence en matière de santé. Le Dr Zoéga, réputé pour sa vaste expérience en gestion et sa maîtrise des politiques de la santé, rejoint une équipe dédiée à l’heure où l’hôpital continue de piloter des initiatives stratégiques clés.

Le KFSH&RC, leader de la recherche médicale et des services cliniques, continue d’attirer des ressources expertes à l’échelle mondiale pour renforcer sa mission d’excellence en matière de santé. L’arrivée du Dr Zoéga fait avancer la stratégie de transformation numérique de l’hôpital, conçue pour doper son efficacité opérationnelle et améliorer les soins prodigués aux patients. Son expertise dans la promotion de collaborations internationales, comme en témoigne son ancien rôle de président de l’Alliance des hôpitaux universitaires européens (ou « EUHA » pour European University Hospital Alliance) et sa participation à des initiatives telles que JOIN4ATMP, visant à promouvoir l’accès à des thérapies innovantes, concourent à un meilleur alignement des services du KFSH&RC sur les tendances mondiales en matière de santé.

Les projets clés de l’hôpital prévoient le déploiement de technologies numériques avancées pour standardiser les mécanismes propres aux soins prodigués aux patients, l’adoption de nouveaux modèles de soins et la modernisation de ses installations. Ces efforts stratégiques visent à améliorer l’accès aux services médicaux et à induire une meilleure communication à leur propos, et traduisent l’engagement du KFSH&RC envers l’établissement de nouvelles normes en matière de santé.

Les précédentes contributions du Dr Zoéga à l’hôpital universitaire Karolinska, placé au deuxième rang européen et au septième rang mondial du classement 2024 des meilleurs hôpitaux du monde établi par Newsweek, ont joué en faveur d’une culture d’apprentissage continu et de collaboration entre les professionnels de santé. Elles répondent ainsi parfaitement aux objectifs du KFSH&RC. Son rôle dans la promotion de programmes comme EUCARE et sa participation au développement des échanges intra Europe d’infirmières en soins intensifs en période de crise a considérablement renforcé le développement du personnel et appuyé l’objectif de son précédent hôpital d’attirer les meilleurs talents ; un principe reflété dans le parcours de transformation du KFSH&RC. Maintenant que le Dr Zoéga prend part au leadership du KFSH&RC, l’établissement s’apprête à renforcer son rôle d’acteur clé dans le façonnage de la santé de demain en Arabie saoudite.

À propos du King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre :

Le King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre fait partie des leaders mondiaux en matière de soins de santé spécialisés, et d’innovation, servant de centre de formation et de recherche médicale avancée. Grâce à des partenariats stratégiques avec d’éminents établissements locaux, régionaux et internationaux, l’hôpital se consacre à l’avancement des technologies médicales et à l’élévation des normes de soins de santé dans le monde entier.

L’hôpital a conforté sa position de leader du secteur de la santé en Arabie saoudite et au Moyen–Orient, en se voyant décerner, pour la deuxième année consécutive, le titre de marque de santé la plus valorisée. Il se classe 9e du royaume et 28e au Moyen–Orient. L’hôpital se distingue en étant le seul hôpital du monde à figurer au top 10 des marques de son pays, comme le soulignent deux rapports de « Brand Finance » consacrés aux 50 meilleures marques d’Arabie saoudite et aux 150 meilleures marques du Moyen–Orient en 2024.

En raison des programmes de transformation et du projet royal « Saudi Vision 2030 » initié par Son Altesse Royale le Prince Héritier et Premier Ministre — que Dieu le préserve — pour renforcer le leadership du royaume dans le secteur de la santé mondiale, le KFSH&RC est devenu un centre médical universitaire de première importance dans la région MENA. En 2024, il s’est classé au 20e rang mondial pour la deuxième année consécutive selon « Brand Finance », et s’est également distingué parmi les 250 meilleurs hôpitaux du monde selon le magazine américain « Newsweek » cette même année.

King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre begrüßt neuen stellvertretenden CEO inmitten strategischer Umstrukturierungen

RIAD, Saudi–Arabien, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Das King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) hat vor kurzem Dr. Björn Zoéga als stellvertretenden CEO willkommen geheißen – eine Ernennung, die das Engagement des Krankenhauses zur Förderung von Spitzenleistungen im Gesundheitswesen unterstreicht. Dr. Zoéga, der für seine umfassende Erfahrung in den Bereichen Gesundheitsmanagement sowie Gesundheitspolitik bekannt ist, stößt zu einem engagierten Team, mit dem das Krankenhaus weiterhin wichtige strategische Initiativen vorantreibt.

Das KFSH&RC, eine führende Einrichtung im Bereich der medizinischen Forschung und der klinischen Dienstleistungen, zieht weiterhin weltweite Expertise an, um seine Vision von Spitzenleistungen im Gesundheitswesen zu untermauern. Unter der Mitwirkung von Dr. Zoéga verfolgt das Krankenhaus eine digitale Transformationsstrategie, die darauf abzielt, die betriebliche Effizienz zu steigern und die Patientenversorgung zu verbessern. Seine Erfahrung in der Stärkung internationaler Kooperationen, die er in seiner früheren Rolle als Präsident der European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) und durch Initiativen wie JOIN4ATMP zur Förderung des Zugangs zu innovativen Therapien unter Beweis gestellt hat, trägt ebenfalls dazu bei, die Dienstleistungen des KFSH&RC an globale Trends im Gesundheitswesen anzupassen.

Zu den wichtigsten Projekten des KFSH&RC gehören der Einsatz fortschrittlicher digitaler Technologien zur Rationalisierung der Patientenversorgung, die Einführung innovativer Pflegemodelle und die Verbesserung der Ausstattung der Einrichtungen. Diese strategischen Bemühungen sollen den Zugang zu medizinischen Dienstleistungen verbessern sowie eine bessere Kommunikation ermöglichen und zeugen vom Engagement des KFSH&RC, neue Standards im Gesundheitswesen zu setzen.

Auch Dr. Zoégas früheres Wirken am Karolinska–Universitätskrankenhaus, das im Newsweek–Ranking „2024 World's Best Hospitals“ als das zweitbeste in Europa und das siebtbeste weltweit eingestuft wurde und wo er sich für eine Kultur des kontinuierlichen Lernens und der Zusammenarbeit unter den Fachkräften des Gesundheitswesens einsetzte, deckt sich mit den Zielen des KFSH&RC. Seine Rolle bei der Förderung von Programmen wie EUCARE und der Erleichterung des europaweiten Austauschs von Intensivpflegekräften in Krisensituationen hat die Personalentwicklung erheblich verbessert und das Ziel seines früheren Krankenhauses, Spitzenkräfte zu gewinnen, unterstützt – ein Prinzip, das sich auch in der angestrebten Transformation des KFSH&RC widerspiegelt. Unter der Leitung von Dr. Zoéga wird das KFSH&RC seine Rolle als zentraler Akteur bei der Gestaltung der Zukunft der Gesundheitsversorgung in Saudi–Arabien weiter ausbauen.

Über das King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre:

Das King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre ist weltweit führend in der Bereitstellung spezialisierter Gesundheitsversorgung, treibt Innovationen voran und dient als Zentrum für medizinische Forschung und Ausbildung. Durch strategische Partnerschaften mit prominenten lokalen, regionalen und internationalen Institutionen engagiert sich das Krankenhaus für die Weiterentwicklung medizinischer Technologien und die Anhebung der Gesundheitsstandards weltweit.

Das Krankenhaus hat seine Position als führende Marke im Gesundheitssektor des Königreichs und des Nahen Ostens gefestigt und wurde zum zweiten Mal in Folge zur wertvollsten Marke im Gesundheitswesen gekürt. Innerhalb des Königreichs liegt es auf Platz 9 und im Nahen Osten auf Platz 28. Das Krankenhaus zeichnet sich als einziges Krankenhaus weltweit dadurch aus, dass es in die Top 10 der Marken seines Landes aufgestiegen ist, was in zwei Berichten von „Brand Finance“ über die 50 wertvollsten Marken in Saudi–Arabien und die 150 wertvollsten Marken im Nahen Osten im Jahr 2024 hervorgehoben wird.

Dank der Transformationsprogramme und der Vision 2030 des Königreichs, die von Seiner Königlichen Hoheit, dem Kronprinzen und Premierminister – möge Gott ihn beschützen – ins Leben gerufen wurden, um die Führungsrolle des Königreichs im globalen Gesundheitssektor zu stärken, hat sich das KFSH&RC zu einem führenden akademischen medizinischen Zentrum im Nahen Osten und in Afrika entwickelt. Laut „Brand Finance“ bleibt es 2024 zum zweiten Mal in Folge auf Platz 20 der Weltrangliste. Außerdem wurde es von der amerikanischen Zeitschrift „Newsweek“ zu den 250 besten Krankenhäusern weltweit im Jahr 2024 gezählt.

WadzPay Plans to Expand Portfolio into Stablecoin Business

SINGAPORE, May 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WadzPay, a leading fintech company specialising in blockchain based technology for virtual asset payment solutions, is proud to announce its plan to enter the Stablecoin business, marking a significant expansion of its offerings. With a steadfast commitment to innovation and addressing evolving market demands, the company has strategically positioned itself to capitalise on the growing opportunities within the virtual asset financial services space.

This also marks a shift in Wadzpay’s strategy to elevate itself from being a blockchain based virtual asset payments company to a blockchain financial services solutions provider. The decision to venture into the Stablecoin market comes as a response to the increasing demand for secure, transparent, and efficient digital payment solutions worldwide.

According to recent market research by Bernstein, the global market for stablecoins is projected to grow from $125 billion to almost $3 trillion in next 5 years. This growth is fueled by factors such as the rise of decentralised finance (DeFi) applications, cross–border remittances, and the need for stable digital assets to mitigate volatility risks in cryptocurrency markets.

By leveraging blockchain technology, WadzPay aims to provide users with a reliable alternative to traditional fiat currencies, offering stability, convenience, and speed at lower cost in transactions for merchants, businesses and individuals worldwide. With a focus on compliance and regulations, WadzPay is poised to address the growing demand for stablecoins while ensuring security and regulatory compliance in its operations. Apart from the traditional use cases, WadzPay will add some new and innovative uses of stablecoins to the mix.

WadzPay will introduce two main products: Stable Coin as a Service and its own regulated USD$ Stablecoin, designed for local and international payments, cross border remittances, and settlements of on–chain transactions related to RWA.

The new solutions will be organised as a new business and new brand. To ensure regulatory compliance, WadzPay will set up a new entity and will pursue approvals in UAE, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

With this strategic move, WadzPay aims to innovate in solving foreign exchange problems and will introduce an innovative first–in–market business model, setting itself apart from competitors. WadzPay will build a world class team under the new leadership to drive this business.
