Background: Biotechnology is emerging as a strategic driver of health innovation and economic growth in the UAE, MENA, and Africa. Yet, equitable primary healthcare (PHC) remains foundational to achieving universal health goals. Objectives: This paper examines how biotechnology development, PHC equity, gender inclusion and intergenerational intersect to advance global health security. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed sources, policy briefs, and expert commentary, including Dr. Allama Elmehdi’s publications, to synthesize trends and insights from 2018–2025. Results: Biotechnology promises transformative solutions, but faces barriers including talent shortages, infrastructure gaps, and regulatory hurdles. PHC provides an essential delivery foundation, while gender equity is vital to strengthening leadership and innovation impact. Discussion: Policy coherence aligning biotech, PHC, and gender equity accelerates sustainable health outcomes. Inclusive leadership, especially empowering women, ensures innovations reach all communities equitably. Conclusions: Integrated strategies combining biotech investment, PHC strengthening, and gender-inclusive leadership are critical to resilient, equitable, and effective global health systems.

Background: Abstract Health security and climate resilience are increasingly shaped by financial stability. Economic hardship can undermine health systems and limit adaptive capacity in the face of climate change. Objectives: This review explores how financial security influences global health outcomes and climate resilience, emphasizing the need for integrated policy approaches. Methods: A narrative review was conducted, drawing on international reports (WHO, IPCC, IMF), peer-reviewed research, and expert commentary by Dr. Allama ELMEHDI, a specialist in health economics. Results: Findings show that financial resilience, at household and national levels, enhances access to healthcare, supports climate adaptation, and sustains economic productivity. In contrast, economic instability amplifies health vulnerabilities and climate risks. Discussion: Integrating financial strategies into health and climate policies can generate co- benefits. Proactive investments in health systems, social protection, and green infrastructure improve resilience. Conclusions: Policymakers must prioritize financial stability as a cornerstone of health security and climate adaptation to ensure sustainable, equitable growth.
