Judge in Maradona negligence case resigns amid scandal
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — The Argentine judge embroiled in the scandal that led to the mistrial in the case of seven health professionals accused of negligence in Diego Maradona's death resigned Tuesday after a grand jury announced it would continue a process to consider her removal. Julieta Makintach, who withdrew from the case because of a documentary in which she appears as one of its lead characters, resigned as a judge in a Buenos Aires provincial court. 'I present my resignation with serenity, without renouncing the right to exercise my defense in the appropriate arenas,' Makintach wrote in a letter sent to the district authorities. The judge is on leave and will have to wait for the Buenos Aires authorities to accept her resignation. Maradona, who led Argentina to the World Cup title in 1986, died on Nov. 25, 2020 while in home hospitalization on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, days after undergoing surgery for a hematoma that formed between his skull and brain. He was 60. Seven healthcare professionals were brought to trial for allegedly failing to provide adequate care. ___ AP soccer:

New Arabic program aids healthcare workers
RIYADH: The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language, in collaboration with the Riyadh Second Health Cluster, has launched the third edition of its Arabic for Health Purposes program, an educational initiative for non-Arabic-speaking healthcare professionals. The program equips doctors and nurses with practical Arabic communication skills through an intensive two-month curriculum. The initiative is part of a broader effort to offer profession-specific Arabic courses, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday. It blends classical Arabic with the Saudi dialect and includes cultural activities to support integration into the local community. Delivered through a flexible model accommodating various learning styles, it aims to enhance healthcare workers' performance in real-world settings. The first edition in 2024 involved four Riyadh-based healthcare facilities and benefited more than 150 practitioners. The second edition, completed in April, served 52 participants in partnership with the Riyadh First Health Cluster.
