Proud of Dr. Nagi El Saghir !

Why do thousands of patients call him "The Doctor of Hope"?

Not because he discovered a new drug.
Not because he invented a new treatment.

But because he helped transform how an entire society understands cancer.

For decades, across Lebanon and the Middle East, fear often surrounded the word cancer. Silence delayed diagnosis, discouraged conversations, and too often stood in the way of care.

🩺 Professor Nagi El Saghir dedicated his career to changing that.

Through medicine, education, public advocacy, and global leadership, he helped replace fear with knowledge, stigma with awareness, and silence with hope.

🌍 In this interview, Professor El Saghir reflects on more than five decades of caring for patients, building institutions, mentoring future leaders, shaping global oncology, and advocating for equitable access to cancer care.

His greatest legacy may not be found in guidelines or scientific publications.

It may be that he helped a society stop whispering the word cancer and start facing it with knowledge, dignity, and hope.

CAR T-cell therapy is transforming cancer care by using a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, offering new hope for people with certain blood cancers and rare diseases. However, access remains limited due to the complexity and cost of producing this life-changing therapy.
Through the MILenARI (Mediterranean International Lentivirus ARI) project, partners including the American University of Beirut, King Hussein Cancer Center, Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital, and FRCB-IDIBAPS are collaborating, with funding from the European Union through the Interreg NEXT MED Programme, to strengthen regional production capabilities and expand access to this innovative therapy across the Mediterranean.
By building local expertise and decentralizing production in Italy, Lebanon, and Jordan, MILenARI aims to make advanced cancer treatments more accessible, bringing hope closer to the patients who need it most.
This video is part of the AUB Office of Research's campaign highlighting the recipients of the 2025 Interreg NEXT MED awards.
