BIO

Having been born, raised, educated, and practicing professionally in the Medical Systems of the USA, it was a goal of mine to bring the western medical healthcare standards of patient centric care and vision to the Arab world. I moved to the GCC in 1999 as the Chief of Staff – Spine and Joints Unit at a network of Medical Centers and operated many thirty to fifty room Surgical Hospitals, Day Surgery and Specialized Medical Centers in the MENA & GCC region. Training physicians and para-medicals on the latest practice management systems as well as medical protocols.

leading the turnkey internal design, construction & commissioning of Alliance Medical & Day Surgery Centre in Dubai with a dedicated staff of over 50 physicians, Surgeons, therapists, technicians, and admin staff of 50 as well as being the Medical Director, Chief of Staff (CMO) and its Chief Operating Officer.

Alliance Medical reached the status as a top healthcare provider for many years, having a reputation for the highest medical services in the UAE. As COO of Novomed Centers in the UAE, directly managing hundreds of employees in the UAE and around the GCC region. Establishing and implementing of RCM, ERP, HIS/EMR and CRM. Having also directed a team of marketing specialists for branding of Novomed Centers in the UAE. Heavy emphasis on digital marketing, SEO and social media with direct link to regional influencers. We organized the official inaugural launch event at the Burj Khalifa with top dignitaries and government officials, media and celebrities. Recruited directly by the CEO of Rayhan Medical in Qatar was my challenge in the GCC region. RMC needed a leader that could bridge the gap between the doctors, operations

& admin. RMC had a name in the market but was not well organized internally, from insurance, medical and surgical services, and operations. This was the focus initially that myself and my team have proudly set a strong policies and standards in place during this last year’s pandemic. The exponential growth of the healthcare industry and services in Qatar is the highest in the GCC, projected through 2024. Since 2011 I have been involved with incorporating and utilizing anti-aging and reverse aging treatments. Soon becoming known as a regional pioneer in the field of Regenerative Medicine combined with a traditional medical approach. A focus on Orthopedics, anti- aging/reverse aging, and Aesthetics, becoming an established key opinion leader in SVF cell therapy and Platelet Rich Plasma.

Experience

Group General Manager SAC Healthcare & PolyClinics / Elegencia Healthcare / Korean Medical Center / Power International Holding, Full-time Apr 2022 Doha, Qatar Group GM SAC Healthcare. Managing all aspects of SAC Healthcare, consulting with our sister organizations/corporates. Feasibility completed with Consulting Haus, LLC for expansion plans throughout Qatar, the GCC region and further.

SAC Healthcare and it’s affiliated sister organizations are tknown to be one of the largest organizations and providers of private Healthcare, Manpower, and Medical Services in Qatar and thought out the region. My first challenge was setting and updating internal corporate departmental policies, procedures, and protocols standards. In parallel working on recruitment and on-boarding of new highly qualified physicians and consultant surgeons from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the USA. I interviewed and evaluated these doctors not only for qualifications but for ethical standards, empathy, and personality.

Rayhan Medical Complex

Chief Operating Officer

March 2020 - February 2022

Doha, Qatar

As the newly appointed COO back in March 2020 when I was initially offered the position and lock-down had just hit the Gulf Nations and was forced to work remotely till April 2020 when travel to Qatar was opened. Working, coaching, and leading RMC's teams to bring the facilities to the forefront of private healthcare delivery services in Qatar. I was excited at the opportunities for expansion and growth, both physically and services offered at RMC. Tackling the Revenue Cycle Management was the next most important step. Establishing and implementing RCM, ERP, HIS/EMR and CRM internally. Meetings and negotiations with Insurance providers and TPA's for addition of new services, restructure the billing and receivables as well as lowering rejections. We managed to reduce the rejection rate to 5% or lower in a very short period as well as recovering many previous rejections. Largest challenge was working with financial capital consultants to assist me in restructuring of the company’s previous years of debits. In parallel improving the cost of goods and reduction of ongoing operational expenses, setting KPI's as well as optimization of the supply chain for improving cash flow. My vision for Rayhan Medical Complex was to make it a healthcare destination and an institution meeting the highest standards of healthcare in a friendly environment with ethical and transparent medical practices and a culture of care and compassion. I believe that optimal health is essential, and the caregivers must share this vision to work together in a comprehensive healthcare system providing multi-disciplinary services to the people of Qatar. Having recruited like- minded medical practitioners in their respective fields, allowing for us to offer not only quality medical care and facilities, but also quality services and medical departments cooperating for our patient’s safety and more favorable outcomes. Creating the services and filling the market gap and demand in Qatar’s healthcare industry by bringing on-board highly specialized doctors and surgeons who excel in complex surgeries having international and western educations and expertise.
