About Me
It's all About the Patient at the End of the Supply Chain!
I grew up in hospitals. Since I was a child, My father, MD and hospital manager, used to take me to his workplace regularly. I studied pharmacy and biotechnology. After graduation, I started my first job as a pharmacist at a local neighborhood hospital where I grew up. I handled stock control, procurement and dispensing of therapeutics to patients. I was curious to learn what happens before the Point of Care (POC). So I moved to the Pharma industry Regulatory Affairs. There, I worked as a project manager, aligning registration, supply, access and procurement to provide medications to entire countries. When I worked in the company's regional office in Switzerland, I was receiving registration, pricing and supply data of over 100 products from more than 84 countries. I created reporting metrics, dashboards to monitor changes and ensure continuous uninterrupted access to medicines. There I learned about my new passion, telling stories from data.
I received a Fulbright scholarship from the US State Department to study a Master's of Science in Health Economics and Data Analytics. I received the scholarship based on a project I submitted that focuses on the necessity to reform the pharmaceuticals pricing & access regulations in Egypt as a learned lesson from the Egyptian pharmaceutical market crisis of 2016. In my Masters, I learned and applied Cost-Effectiveness & Econometric modeling in health, and a lot of data manipulation techniques. My latest research was about RSV immunization and was published in ISPOR's Value in Health.
