Dr. Ahmed Sherif Explains Why Million-Follower Pages Are About to Lose Their Real Value

At a time when everyone is being swept up by “trends” and the pursuit of instant fame, an academic and professional voice emerges to sound a... At a time when everyone is being swept up by “trends” and the pursuit of instant fame, an academic and professional voice emerges to sound a very different kind of warning. Our guest following the events is Dr. Ahmed Sherif, CEO of Alpha Centauri for Marketing and Medical Conference Organization, and Co-Founder of the International Association of Aesthetic and Urogenital Gynecology (IAAUG). Dr. Sherif holds an honorary doctorate in Marketing and Business Administration from Lancaster Academy, United Kingdom, and an MBA from Cairo University. Today, he presents a technical and strategic roadmap for escaping the social media trap and building digital assets that artificial intelligence can truly understand. The Myth of Partnership with Social Media Platforms: Where Is the Problem? An attendee posed a question to Dr. Ahmed: You often describe the relationship with social media platforms as “slavery to algorithms,” while some view it as a partnership. Where is the problem? His answer was clear: The problem is that we assume there is “loyalty,” while in reality it is nothing more than a temporary and unfair commercial deal. Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are profit-driven companies whose entire business model depends on converting your attention—and your audience’s attention—into paid advertising space. Algorithms have no loyalty to content creators. The shocking evidence: You may own a medical page with one million followers, yet a critically important post reaches only 300 people organically. But once you pay $500, suddenly the same post reaches 50,000 people. This is not a failure of content; it is a deliberate engineering design meant to force you to pay. When you build your audience there, you are building a skyscraper on shifting sand that you do not own and whose rules you cannot control. Is Artificial Intelligence the Solution? And How Does It Handle Content? Dr. Ahmed Sherif emphasizes: This is the fundamental turning point that many people overlook. Artificial intelligence—Large Language Models (LLMs) and RAG systems relied upon by Google SGE and ChatGPT—do not read Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok content. Why? Because 90% of the content on these platforms is access-restricted within the platform itself, and external search engines are not allowed to crawl or index it. To see this for yourself: Search for something using Facebook’s internal search—you’ll find shallow and often irrelevant results. But after just five minutes of browsing, your timeline suddenly turns into paid ads related to what you searched for. This is not a coincidence; it is a closed system whose primary purpose is to force you to pay. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, searches for open, indexable content: Clean HTML, scientific articles, PDF files, and structured, precise information. It does not understand emojis, does not recognize hashtags, and struggles to index short videos without text. Therefore: If your knowledge or expertise is trapped in a “story” that disappears after 24 hours, AI will never see you. Is the Website Still Just a “Showcase” for Physicians? Dr. Ahmed Sherif answers decisively: The era of the website as merely a logo and résumé is over. Today, the website has become a strategic knowledge repository. Smart websites are built to communicate with artificial intelligence in its own language through: • Structured data (Schema Markup) • In-depth, precise articles • Detailed answers to specialized questions For example: Instead of writing “We perform cosmetic procedures,” publish an article titled: “The Medical Difference Between Cosmetic Abdominoplasty and Postpartum Diastasis Recti Repair.” This depth trains artificial intelligence to associate the physician’s name with: precision, trust, and professionalism. Those who do this today are securing a place in the AI’s memory for years to come. Are We Calling for Abandoning Social Media? Dr. Ahmed Sherif clarifies: I am not calling for abandoning it, but for restructuring its role. Social media is no longer a final display platform; it has become a recruitment channel. Its function now is: Attract the audience → Direct them to your website → Convert them into email subscribers → Then into real clients or patients. This is the concept of owning the audience, rather than renting it within a platform whose data you do not own and whose rules you cannot control. Finally: Where Does the Human Element Go Amid Machine Dominance? Dr. Ahmed Sherif responds: Although artificial intelligence seeks information quality, real trust is built through human presence. AI does not trust a robot that writes like a human; it trusts a real human documenting real expertise. Therefore, alongside scientific articles, human presence must be strengthened through: • Live sessions • Patient testimonials • Authentic, unfiltered videos of the physician • Honest content that reflects the doctor’s true personality This content should then be documented and preserved on the website to become a permanent digital asset, not just a fleeting trend.

After Participating in the GAERID Conference in Cologne, Germany

Exclusive – Zain Al-Watan Dr. Ahmed Sherif: Female Genital Mutilation Is a Health, Social, and Economic Crisis Requiring Urgent Action ... Exclusive – Zain Al-Watan Dr. Ahmed Sherif: Female Genital Mutilation Is a Health, Social, and Economic Crisis Requiring Urgent Action Dr. Ahmed Sherif has returned to Egypt following his participation in the GAERID Conference in Cologne, Germany, where his lecture on the health, social, and economic impacts of female genital mutilation (FGM) received wide attention. Photos of the packed conference hall reflected the strong engagement with the data and facts he presented while addressing this global phenomenon. During his lecture, Sherif explained that more than 230 million girls and women worldwide have undergone FGM, according to UNICEF reports—a number that continues to rise with population growth, making FGM a global challenge affecting public health and national economies. Egypt Among the Highest-Prevalence Countries Sherif noted that Egypt remains among the countries with the highest prevalence rates, with approximately 87% of women aged 15–49 having undergone FGM. Despite a slight decline in the average age at which the procedure is performed, the total number continues to increase. He also pointed out that the practice is no longer limited to traditional settings, as it is sometimes carried out in medical clinics, giving it a false “medical” appearance despite its growing complications and long-term consequences. Enormous Economic Losses Sherif highlighted the staggering cost of FGM complications in Egypt, explaining that the state spends nearly $20 billion over the lifetime of each affected woman—including $14 billion for gynecological and urinary tract conditions and $6 billion for childbirth-related complications. He emphasized that chronic pain and psychological trauma reduce women’s productivity and ability to work, directly impacting families, communities, and the national economy. Europe Also Pays the Price Although the prevalence of FGM in Europe is less than 1%, the cost of medical care and psychological and social support for affected women reaches €1–2 billion annually, while the global cost is estimated at $1.4 billion per year. Sherif stressed that these figures prove the issue is a shared responsibility and that investment in awareness and education is the most effective solution. IAAUG: Action on the Ground Sherif discussed the role of the International Association of Aesthetic and Urogynecological Surgery (IAAUG), which he co-founded with Dr. Doaa Saleh, noting that it has become a global reference for treating FGM complications. To date, the organization has trained over 2,500 doctors and provided 200 fully free surgeries for women and girls, based on a model of “for every doctor trained, two free treatments,” ensuring direct and lasting impact. Growing International Attention Regarding the strong engagement at the GAERID Conference, Sherif affirmed that international awareness is increasing, with FGM now recognized not merely as a cultural practice but as a continuous social and economic drain. He highlighted a genuine willingness among European and international institutions to collaborate, confirming that the organization is ready to operate anywhere—Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia. He concluded with a clear message: “FGM is not only a women’s issue—it is an issue of nation, economy, and future. Every girl we protect is a step forward, and every doctor we train is a new light reducing this practice. As the Germans say: Gemeinsam sind wir stark — Together we are stronger.” Sherif emphasized that all figures presented are based on recent UNICEF 2024 reports, World Health Organization (WHO) data, and international economic studies on the health and developmental impacts of FGM, aiming to provide a transparent and accurate picture for policymakers and the public. About Dr. Ahmed Sherif Dr. Ahmed Sherif holds an Honorary Doctorate in Marketing and Business Administration from Lancaster Academy (UK), along with an MBA and a Diploma in Business Administration from Cairo University. He is the CEO of Alpha Centauri, specializing in medical marketing and conference organization, and the co-founder of IAAUG, a leading organization in training physicians and treating complications of female genital mutilation.

Dr. Ahmed Sherif: Female Genital Mutilation Is a Critical Health, Social, and Economic Issue That Demands Immediate Action

Dr. Ahmed Sherif Returns to Egypt After GAERID Conference in Cologne, Emphasizing the Economic and Social Costs of Female Genital Mutilation... Dr. Ahmed Sherif Returns to Egypt After GAERID Conference in Cologne, Emphasizing the Economic and Social Costs of Female Genital Mutilation Dr. Ahmed Sherif has returned to Egypt after participating in the GAERID Conference held in Cologne, Germany, where his lecture on the impact of female genital mutilation (FGM) on society and national economies generated widespread interest. The strong engagement was evident in widely shared images showing a fully occupied conference hall, with attendees listening attentively to his presentation. Transparent Data Drives Global Attention Dr. Sherif explained that the strong response to his lecture was largely due to the clarity of the statistics and the honesty with which they were presented. Citing UNICEF, he noted that more than 230 million girls and women worldwide have been subjected to FGM. This number continues to rise as global populations increase, making FGM a growing international health and economic challenge rather than a localized issue. Egypt’s Situation: High Prevalence and Rising Costs Focusing on Egypt, Dr. Sherif highlighted that the country remains among the highest-ranking nations in FGM prevalence, with approximately 87% of women aged 15–49 having undergone the practice. Although there has been modest progress in delaying the age at which FGM is performed, the total number of affected women continues to grow due to population expansion. He also warned that the practice has shifted in some cases from traditional settings to medical clinics, carried out by healthcare professionals. This so-called medicalization of FGM gives the procedure a false sense of safety while increasing both its harmful consequences and its financial burden on the state. The Financial Impact of FGM on Egypt From an economic perspective, Dr. Sherif revealed that treating complications related to FGM costs Egypt an estimated $20 billion over the lifetime of affected women. These costs include: Around $14 billion for gynecological and urinary tract complications Approximately $6 billion linked to pregnancy and childbirth complications He stressed that chronic pain and psychological trauma following FGM often reduce a woman’s ability to work effectively, leading to significant productivity losses that affect families, communities, and the broader economy. Europe and the Global Economic Burden When comparing the situation to Europe, Dr. Sherif noted that although FGM prevalence there is below 1%, the cost of medical treatment, psychological care, and social support still amounts to €1–2 billion annually. On a global level, the overall yearly cost is estimated at $1.4 billion. These figures demonstrate that all societies bear the cost of a practice that could largely be prevented through education, awareness campaigns, and early intervention. In this context, cooperation between Egypt and European institutions represents a forward-looking investment, not merely a humanitarian response. IAAUG: Turning Training Into Real Impact Dr. Sherif also highlighted the work of the International Academy of Aesthetic and Urogynecological Surgery (IAAUG), which was founded through a humanitarian and scientific partnership between him and Dr. Doaa Saleh, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The organization focuses on treating FGM-related complications and training physicians to manage such cases according to international medical standards. To date, IAAUG has: Trained more than 2,500 doctors Provided 200 free surgical procedures for women and girls affected by FGM The academy follows a practical model: for every doctor trained, two patients receive full treatment free of charge, ensuring that education leads to measurable, life-changing results. Why the GAERID Audience Responded Strongly Dr. Sherif explained that the strong engagement at the GAERID Conference reflects a growing global awareness that FGM is not simply a cultural practice, but an ongoing social and economic drain. International and European organizations are increasingly willing to contribute to solutions through education, professional training, and collaborative initiatives, with IAAUG ready to operate worldwide, including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. A Clear Call to Action Dr. Sherif concluded with a powerful message to society: “Female genital mutilation is not only a women’s issue—it is an issue of national development, economic stability, and future generations. Every girl we protect and every woman we treat represents progress. Every doctor trained with us is a new light helping to reduce this practice. As the Germans say: Gemeinsam sind wir stark—together, we are stronger.” Credible International Sources He emphasized that all statistics and data presented in the lecture were drawn from trusted international sources, including: UNICEF reports (2024) World Health Organization (WHO) assessments of the health and economic consequences of FGM Peer-reviewed economic studies published in international journals specializing in women’s health and human development These sources were used to present a transparent and accurate overview of the scale of the issue and to raise awareness among policymakers and the public about the human and economic costs of FGM.
