About this episode

Please listen to and watch this latest episode of The Lebanese Physicians' Podcast with Dr. Lama El Zein MD, MHA. Dr. El Zein just started a position as Vice President, Quality and Implementation Science at Hackensack Meridian Health in New Jersey.

In this episode, we discuss the rising healthcare costs in the United States. We analyze the sectors of healthcare that lead to this high cost, and we discuss the role of palliative care and advocacy in improving the quality of care for patients in a more efficient less wasteful, and less costly manner.

If you are interested in the economy of healthcare, this is the episode to tune in to.

Also available on Spotify, Anghami, iHeartRadio, and Apple podcasts.
