Ossama Mansour: The Beginning of a National Transformation from Libya’s First Stroke Conference
Ossama Mansour, Chief Executive Officer of a Semoha University Campus, Faculty of Medicine at Alexandria University, shared on LinkedIn:
”Today, with immense pride and heartfelt joy, I congratulate our friends and colleagues in Libya for organizing the first Stroke Conference in Libya; a milestone that truly means so much to all of us.
This achievement did not happen overnight.
It is the result of five years of relentless effort years of sweat and sacrifice bringing stakeholders to one table, aligning visions, and building a national initiative for stroke care in a country so close to our hearts.
What you have done is historic.
On another level, it is deeply moving to see how the seed of this idea planted during the MENA‑SINO meeting in Jeddah last year has now grown into reality.
We discussed then that national frontline initiatives cannot succeed without true champions on the ground. And our Libyan colleagues proved exactly that.
They are not only great human beings and symbolic patriots, but also highly skilled experts whose competence matches that of the most developed countries in the world.
I am incredibly proud of this moment.
Proud that nearly 9 million kind Libyan people are now beginning a new journey toward a real, structured healthcare system for stroke and neurointervention care.
Libya spans 1,759,540 km²; more than three times the size of France, five times the size of Germany, and about three times the size of Texas.
For a country of such vast geography, building a comprehensive stroke system from zero preparedness is no small task.
Yet today, you are firmly on the path to establishing your own system, your own tools, and your own standards of care.
A very special thanks to my dear friend and brother Abdulmonem Said the true dynamo of a powerful machine with remarkable cogwheels: fantastic colleagues united by one mission to ensure cerebrovascular patients receive standard, timely, and life‑saving treatment.
Congratulations on the inauguration of the first comprehensive stroke center in Libya at Tripoli University Hospital.
This is history in the making.
Finally, my deepest appreciation to the entire MENA‑SINO group and to all the outstanding Libyan colleagues who traveled from near and far to make this meeting possible.
What you have achieved is more than a conference – it is the beginning of transformation.
The journey has started. And it is a powerful one. ”
