TEAM SPOTLIGHT: FAWZI ZGHYER - MEDICAL INFORMATICIST

Welcome to our team spotlight series, featuring profiles of team members here at Hikma Health. Learn more about the people behind the product and how we empower patients, clinicians, and communities.

In one sentence, what’s your job right now?

I am an Internal Medicine Resident physician at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

What does a typical day look like?

My typical day is usually a day at the hospital rich in interactions with patients, families, and colleagues.

What do you enjoy most about your role?

What I enjoy most about my role is seeing people get better in real time. It is always so heartwarming when someone comes very sick into the hospital, and then after a journey of diagnostics and treatments, walks out of the hospital! I enjoy getting to know new people and stories every single day.

How have you been able to learn and grow at Hikma Health?

I was able to learn and grow at Hikma Health by watching a group of incredibly passionate and driven individuals in action. It brings me honor and pride to be working amongst such bright individuals who are purely driven by good deeds and desire to payback.

What has been one of your proudest moments working at Hikma Health?

 My proud moments at Hikma Health are numerous. One that stands out is when we reached the target for our fundraiser to support EMA in building a second mobile clinic in Bekaa, Lebanon. 

Anything else you would like us to know?

I would like to share a little more about my background here. I was born and raised on the outskirts of a refugee camp in East Jerusalem. I spent my childhood days in the neighbourhoods playing soccer and competing in tournaments. I was 100% sure that I was going to either be a professional soccer player or a truck driver. Fast forward a few years, I am currently working hard in my medical residency training in order to payback to my roots, serve the underserved, and be kind.
