In this episode, I had an opportunity to speak with Maha Dakhloul on the topic of Patient Support Programs (PSPs) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA region). Maha does a great job of explaining with us how PSPs are set-up, how one can develop a PSP, the lesser known components of a PSP, how to measure a successful PSP, how to evaluate a PSP provider, the interdependence of clinical trials and PSPs in the MENA region and much more. This interview was recorded shortly after the explosion in Beirut in August 2020. I’d like to thank Maha for taking the time to chat even though her city was experiencing such pain. Maha has a bachelor’s degree from the Arab University of Beirut. She has worked as Clinical Research Coordinator, Clinical Research Associate, Regulatory Affairs Manager, Clinical Project Manager and is currently the Clinical Operations Manager at Phoenix Clinical Research . Please join me in welcoming Maha on the Clinical Trial Podcast. Maha Dakhloul on LinkedIn
