Why Project in Healthcare?


Daher NouriehDuring my career I had the chance to be involved in several healthcare projects in various countries in Africa, Asia and south America where I had the chance to analyze the state of the health sector and understand its strength and weakness.
I feel the necessity to show these points, to analyze them and try to improve them.
Through this blog “Projects in Healthcare”, I would like to share my personal thoughts about the healthcare with you. I wish it will become a platform for ideas and experience exchange in this field. Professionals, Engineers, architects and all persons working in healthcare sector are welcome to comment and to share ideas. I think spreading and exchanging our knowledge on global basis is part of our roles and our contribution to improve the world where we live. An idea, one day, could save lives!

l will try to analyze subjects like financing and funding the healthcare infrastructures in high and low income countries, the importance of project management culture and other technical and organizational topics applied to Projects in Healthcare.

From Syria to Europe

I was born in Syria in 1983 where I made my schools and I got my B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Damascus in 2006. Growing in this country I saw its transformation from the socialism to liberal market economy and the results of this on many sectors including healthcare.

My curiosity to learn and see more, drove me to travel to Europe where I’m living since 2007. I had a great opportunity to get my M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France in 2008 and then my M.Sc. in Management in Clinical Engineering from the University of Trieste, Italy in 2012.

What I love in my work

During my career I covered roles as Project Manager, Project Engineer and Medical equipment Planner for hospital turnkey projects. I was also part of the design teams.

I worked in projects in countries like Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Syria, Qatar, Ethiopia, Ghana, Vietnam, Peru… and I’d like to work and discover others.

I love to be part of multicultural teams with people from all over the world and to try to talk to people in their language, in Italian, French, English or Arabic.

In conclusion

I have lot to say and I would like to share with you. I know that you have a lot to say too and I’m really enthusiast to listen!

Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital, a success case of PPP in Healthcare

While the provision of health is widely recognized as the responsibility of government, private capital and expertise are increasingly viewed as welcome sources to induce efficiency and innovation.

It will analyze the contract and the role of the private partner and will discuss the keys of success.  This successful case shows tha...
