Born to a traditional Kuwaiti family, Alia Al-Khaled didn’t picture a career in politics. Growing up in a typical Kuwaiti household, Alia lived an uncomplicated life. After marriage, her child was diagnosed with cancer. For the first time, Alia had familiarized herself with struggle.The motivation that sparked a doctor’s drive to heal a patient, and the urgency that a paramedic felt in getting a patient to the hospital was not evident in Kuwait as it was abroad. The overall passion in Kuwait’s community was missing. Realizing the loss in inspiration to function within society prompted Alia to make a difference.
