Access Modifier is by default internal. Did you use the PublicResXFileCodeGenerator ?

You can set the Access Modifier to public when you open the RESX file in Visual Studio. There is a dropdown box that can be found at the top of the form which changes the Access Modifier.

And after that you will be able to access : 

var resxManager = new ResourceManager(typeof(Resource));
var currentString = resxManager.GetString("Practitioner", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"));

Here can be a related issue : Visual Studio - Resx File default 'internal' to 'public'

try to change Current Culture in place of UI culture - 

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ar-SA");

I am using following code for fetching specific value from Global Resource for specific culture - 

ResourceManager myManager = new ResourceManager(typeof(Resources.Strings));
String currencySymbol = myManager.GetString("Currency", CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-GB"));
