Between the poem and the profession, and between principle and responsibility, unfolds the story of Dr. Omar Obeid, the head of the As-Suwayda Doctors Syndicate and president of the syndicate branch council, who combines the spirit of a poet with the mission of a physician in an experience that transcends the boundaries of the profession into public affairs.
In a new episode of "Rihla," Obeid recalls the influence of his upbringing in a home connected to national issues and how that reflected on his vision of responsibility and humanitarian stances. He also reflects on the role of poetry in the vernacular dialect in expressing social issues, including opposing violence against women.
The episode turns to the reality of the health sector in As-Suwayda, where the syndicate's efforts to protect doctors and activate clinics to provide services to patients are highlighted, alongside the formation of a health advisory board comprising fifty doctors and experts in a move aimed at enhancing professional work and planning for the future of the health sector.
From the poem to the clinic, and from organizing the syndicate space to maintaining the presence and hope of young doctors, this journey tells an experience that poses a fundamental question: How can responsibility transform from an administrative position into a tangible impact on people's lives?
