Hedieh is an MPH candidate at the Boston University School of Public Health, where she specialises in Global Health. Her interests lie in health system strengthening in the Middle East to address the rising tide of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially cancer. Given the lack of advocacy for public health and #NCDs in the region, Hedieh has been channeling her efforts through social media and blog posts on Global Health Middle East to draw attention to the various health system issues.
