Dear Colleagues,
The Healthcare system in the world is undergoing massive change and the Arab Healthcare sector is part of it.
From transformational policies to disruptive technologies to innovative medical advances, powerful forces are coming
together to re-create the healthcare environment.
To lead their organizations through a new market landscape, industry leaders need to understand and prepare for new
megatrends that will shape the next 10 years in healthcare. An informed and effective strategy demands considering
the effects of these game-changing developments—and ensuring organizations are ready to seize the opportunities
and overcome the problems of a radically different healthcare model.
The Theme of Medhealth 2015 as well the subjects summarize the top forces that are re-shaping the healthcare
landscape—and re-defining how all the players, from payers to providers, and others must adapt to drive growth.
Medhealth 2015 will show how the industry leaders need to manage their organizations in the decade ahead to
have a real reshaping principal basis of the Healthcare Sector for a better Future.
We invite you to take part in Medhealth 2015. This conference seeks to assemble key stakeholders in healthcare who will
share perspectives, ideas and solutions in order to reshape the Arab Healthcare Sector.
Welcome to Medhealth Cairo 2015
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Faouzi Adaimi
AHF President
secretary general
address
Thanks to Allah the Lord of the Universe, and peace and blessings on our
prophet Mohammad peace be upon him and on all his companions.
Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
We convene, in the context of sustaining achievements and giving, in a
new phase of Arab Joint Health Work in the light of very huge information
revolution that invaded the whole world…
Thanks and praise to Allah who paved the way to such Arabic Alignment
and supported us to overcome difficulties and guided us with the light of
science and faith to the right path in such an expanded and universal may
despite the surrounding global changes and challenges which impose
itself on the real situation and on the ground.
The 16th forum of the Arab Hospitals Federation comes in concordance
with the Arab Ministers of Health Meeting under the theme (Reshaping the
Arab Healthcare Sector) in Cairo in the period from 24 – 25 Feb., 2015 to
promote the spirit of cooperation, communication and giving among the
Arab countries.
The main theme of this forum which simply means restructuring the Arab
health sector comes to cope with the international challenges facing the
health system for provision of high quality health services.
These challenges include ageing of the population, emerging disease
pattern, fragmented health services, high costs, affordability of health care
at equal opportunities, with safety of health services which led to nonsustainability of the current health model.
The moral and ethical responsibility of the medical profession requires that
the health leaders and health policy makers should get well acquainted
with and understand the new health systems aiming at improving health
services. Much more efforts should be exerted in universal integrated
health care and with much emphasis and focus on the deep comprehension of the new concepts such as: patient-centered care, putting patient
first, empowerment of patient rights and lastly personalized care or
person-centered care.
These new concepts represent a real change in restructuring of healthcare
systems with emphasis on health service users experiences. In this situation,
the patients, practitioners, service providers and policy makers are all
equal as positive partners in production of the comprehensive health path
where every partner bears his expected role and responsibility in sustaining
the healthcare services.
These concepts have been affirmed in the previous federation conferences
where the importance and the necessity of empowering, developing and
institutionalization of health services within the framework of quality and
patient safety.
The Arab Hospitals Federation achieved a lot along a very long history of
work and achievements where the Arab health work cooperation
become one of the most prominent targets realized.
The Health care achieved a great remarkable development in the last few
years in our Arab World through putting health strategies with defined
responsibilities. Also, a full vision for provision of preventive and curative
services, provision of essential drugs, adoption of modern health systems,
medical research and encouragement of Primary Health Care.
Despite the growth in the magnitude and the capacities of such health
services, still these services are suffering the increasing load on its facilities.
Therefore, giving the preventive aspect its worthy attention on the part of
the ministries of health in the Arab World in terms of planning and execution is
of paramount importance .
Here, I have to refer to the role played by the Arab Hospitals Federation in
the prevention aspect through its various activities promoting all health
aspects and encouraging private sector to contribute to provision of
health services, increasing institutes and programs for training and qualification
of workers in the health sector, depicting realistic and appropriate plans to
adopt the recent trends in this aspect.
In conclusion, I would like to express my deep thanks and appreciation to
HE Dr. Faouzi Adaimi – President of the Arab Hospitals Federation, Mrs. Alice
Yammine Boueiz – Chair of the Organizing & PR Committee and all working
staff in this Federation. Thanks are also extended to the members of the
Consultative Committee for their very constructive and discernible efforts.
Praying to Allah the Almighty to bless this meeting and crown our work with
success and rightness.

DR. ROULA ZAHAR- DEPUTY GENERAL DIRECTOR - MOUNT LEBANON HOSPITAL 20 min
To build tomorrow’s healthcare system, we must take comprehensive action to reward quality and safety and tackle rising healthcare costs.
Tomorrow’s healthcare system should deliver safe, high-quality care; eliminate inefficient spending; and encourage and reward actions individuals can
take to improve their health. We must address key components of care delivery rather than continue to simply shift costs across the system.
As well we a commitment to collaborating with all stakeholders — consumers, hospitals, physicians, payers and policymakers — is requested to build
tomorrow’s healthcare system today.

OFFICE - HMC 5 min
Healthcare organizations are leveraging big data technology to get more complete patient insights, support care coordination and patient
engagement and outreach. Successfully harnessing big data helps achieve three critical objectives for healthcare transformation - build
sustainable healthcare systems, collaborate to improve care and outcomes, and increase access to healthcare.
The Dynamic Use of Information to Improve Decision Making
DR. COLIN FINCHAM - DIRECTOR AND CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER- CERNER MIDDLE EAST

Information Technology
DR. ADHAM ISMAIL - REGIONAL ADVISOR HEALTH TECHNOLOGY AND BIOMEDICAL DEVICES - EMRO/WHO 25 min
Health technology assessment (HTA) refers to the systematic evaluation of properties, effects, and/or impacts of health technology.
Today's the Technologies are sophisticated and can synchronize mobile data with medical equipment, tailor medical advice to patient histories, and
connect patients and providers in a truly integrated manner.
In the midst of such technology, can these complex partnerships be built in time to harness the best of contemporary medical technology? How
do we screen for quality? How can we test efficacy, and how do we measure outcomes?
Big Data in Healthcare: Where to Next?
MR. PAUL WARREN HALLIDAY- DIRECTOR HICT - INFORMATION MANAGEMENT- HMC 25 min
Improved operational performance, increased coordination of care, and reduced medical error only begin to scratch the surface of what
big data has to offer in an age of advancing digitization. However, effective mechanisms to gather, consolidate, and distribute large amounts
of health information to the appropriate individuals and tools to analyze and interpret the recent explosion of health information in a meaningful
way do not currently exist. How can different parties partner together to work towards a future with effective utilization of health information in
an industry on the brink of a technological transformation?
