best ways to ensure medical staff can provide the very best health care. There is ample statistical evidence to support that simulation clinical scenarios not only improve clinical skills and competence of the learner but to also aid in the development of non-technical abilities including the recognition of the value of human factors in the healthcare. Studies have been conducted in comparing the link between safety management in aviation and healthcare. There is no doubt that healthcare has been following the path of aviation safety models from risk management to simulation training and there are published similarities in the concept of what both industries deem to be safe. The major influencers are aviation manuals, checklists, promoting a blame-free reporting culture, the drive to improve team briefs before and after an event and the ‘sterile cockpit’ scenario, this is ensuring that there are no distractions prior to an intervention or physical activity.

He has diverse experience in Healthcare System Improvement, Clinical System Reliability, Patient Safety, Clinical Care Improvement, Coaching & Culture Change Management, Building Capacities & Capabilities, Business Process Management, and Program Management across major GCC healthcare organizations.
Abstract:
Strong health systems are fundamental if we are to improve health outcomes. System thinking is a powerful tool which first untangles the complexity of a health system then applies that understanding to design better interventions and solutions to strengthen systems. Designing solutions to system problems suggests ways to be more realistically present to how health systems might respond to strengthening interventions while also exploring the potential dangers amongst these interventions. It shows how better evaluations of the health system strengthens initiatives which can yield valuable lessons about what works, how it works and who it works for. If we accept that no intervention is required and that every act of intervening has effects such as the intended and unintended, then it is essential that we begin to understand the full extent of those effects to get rid of any negative behavior and focus
on any potential dangers.

Highly invasive liver biopsy is gold standard diagnostic tool. Existing biomarkers for cirrhosis in clinical practice have narrow applicability due to lack of specificity and sensitivity. Proteins expressed from liver entering into circulation reflect degree of liver dysfunction. Technological advancement in proteomic approach may generate numerous biomarker candidates. Prioritization of candidate is prerequisite for further validation in biomarker pipeline. Hence, present study aims to correlate newly
discovered biomarker candidate with serum levels of direct
and indirect biomarkers of hepatocellular damage.
