Last update: 9 hours ago

Medicine Safety: Lebanese security forces seized unlicensed cancer drugs after armed supporters tried to obstruct an inspection in Beirut. The health minister ordered the operation over concerns the medicines were spoiled or failed safety standards; claims they were counterfeit remain unverified. Research: Qatar’s Sidra Medicine presented microbiome research at the MENA Microbiome 2026 conference, while Saudi researchers are studying aging and brain disorders in a space-based project. Health Services: The Arabian Gulf University hospital received platinum accreditation from Bahrain’s National Health Regulatory Authority. Youth Health: GCC figures report full coverage of basic health services for 12.8 million adolescents and young people across member states.
