“Princess Ghida: Where Hope Weaers a Crown.
What turns personal tragedy into a force for collective good?
For HRH Princess Ghida Talal of Jordan, the answer is purpose, courage, and an unwavering belief that cancer care is a hashtag#HumanRight.
From a childhood shaped by Lebanon’s civil war, to a frontline journalism career covering global conflict, to becoming Press Secretary to King Hussein, Princess Ghida has lived a life defined by resilience.
But it was her husband’s cancer diagnosis that transformed her mission forever.
Today, as the driving force behind the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center (KHCF/KHCC), she leads with a powerful conviction: every patient deserves a fair chance at life, regardless of background, borders, or income.
In this deeply human interview, Princess Ghida reflects on:
- How conflict shaped her empathy and responsibility
- The lessons journalism taught her about truth and leadership
- The moment cancer became her lifelong mission
- How KHCC grew from scarcity to one of the region’s top cancer centers
- The global partnerships elevating cancer care in Jordan
- Breaking stigma in the Middle East
- Why cancer must stay at the top of the global health agenda
- The power of women’s leadership in health
- Why mental health must stand alongside medical care
- And her vision for a future defined by innovation, equity, and humanity
