C o v e r S t o r y
Specialized Arab Hospital (SAH) was
our ﬁrst success story; we were able
to lift the huge burden of the lack of
specialized services in the Palestinian
health system.”

One of our best qualities as a
workplace is that we believe that our
employees are owners. We emphasis
the ownership principle in our work
culture.”
I
n the competitive era, the measures and offerings
that have served the system are connected through
the service provisional ﬁrms. While considering the
health systems, to bring in a change by offering an
exclusive set of provisions is challenging to achieve.
While understanding the modern world spectrum, new
trends and practices have enhanced the way healthcare
systems operate, thus excelling while expanding
globally while maintaining standards.
As the global condition intensively changes its
course, the measures to help and maintain
inclusive operations while offering the
specialized services are brought forth
through the prime leader and
Chairperson of the Board of
Directors—Arab Hospitals
Group—Dr Salem Abu
Khaizaran while attaining
quality services and
disrupting the healthcare
sector.

While redefining and disrupting through the barriers of
the financial system, Arab Hospitals Group has
inculcated advanced technology and their healthcare
model efficiently develops the healthcare province
through new services and innovative based practices.
Let's delve in and understand how the transformative
leader tackled through the barriers while providing digi-
health services:
Brief our audience about your journey as a business
leader until your current position at Arab Hospitals
Group.
My journey began when I came back from England,
where I was working as an Obstetrician and
Gynaecologist. I was in the phase of changing jobs to
enter the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) world from one
side and looking for permanent housing for the family
from the other side. During a job interview, I got the
question of when you will go back to Palestine to start
an IVF journey there. This is when I first had the idea of
going back to Palestine in mind. Shortly after that, I
started communicating with hospitals in Palestine right
away and finally decided to head back home with my
family in 1994.
Two years later, I established the first IVF center in
Palestine, Razan Center for Infertility, named after my
eldest child Razan. Our IVF center was the fourth in the
Middle East, and it was established only 15 years after
the first ever IVF child was born in 1978.
What challenges have you had to overcome to reach
where you are today? Enlighten us on how you have
impacted the healthcare niche through your expertise
in the market.
The journey would not have been possible without
the help of our team, who are still part of the
Razan family today, and also our international
friends who came during tough times to
Palestine to help us achieve successful
results.
Shortly after the successful
pregnancy stories our center
helped to achieve, we noticed a
need for specialized hospital
wards like Neonatal
Intensive Care Units
(NICU) and Laparoscopic Surgeries. We saw the need in
these two specific areas because they are closely
connected to IVF. This was when we had the idea of
establishing the first hospital in 1998. Specialized Arab
Hospital (SAH) was our first success story; we were
able to lift the huge burden of the lack of specialized
services in the Palestinian health system. This hospital
witnessed the first Kidney transplant in Palestine and
had a specialized Cardiac Surgery center and a bundle
of Tertiary care services. For us to provide these
services, we had to train our healthcare providers in-
house with the help of international teams who were
coming from different countries to supervise and train
our local teams.
After gaining the trust of the public and developing a
very close and high-trust relationship with the
Palestinian Ministry of Health, we were able to
establish our second hospital in a new city. Istishari
Arab Hospital (IAH) in Ramallah provided high
dependency beds and a wide range of tertiary care
services including Chemotherapy. Our health system
was relying on highly specialized services provided by
neighbouring counties that were reimbursed at
prohibitive costs.

Regardless of all, the Arab
Hospitals Group will continue to
work to close the gaps in health
services provided in Palestine.
With the limited access to care in
the Palestinian setting and the fact
that our patients need travel permits
to receive care, our hospital helped a
lot of patients overcome the hassles of
traveling and the long waiting times to
access the needed services. Our IAH
hospital is working with solar panels through
our investment in a renewable energy source.
This investment has helped us operate with
maximum efﬁciency and save on our electricity
costs.
Our third success story is Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital
(ISH) in Jenin. This hospital was established yet in
another city during the Covid-19 crisis and helped our
government with the ICU beds shortage during that
difﬁcult period. We decided to include a dialysis unit in
this hospital since our public hospitals are working at
full capacity to help patients needing dialysis.

What change would you like to bring to the healthcare
industry if given a chance? Where do you envision
yourself to be in the long run, and what are your
future goals for Arab Hospital Group?
Our group is proud of the fact that we provide high-
quality services. Our first hospital was the first hospital
to receive the ISO-9000 certification in Palestine.
Istishari Arab Hospital was the first private hospital to
receive the Joint Commission Accreditation and our
newly established hospital will work to receive the
same accreditation in the coming year. Another thing
we value is that we were able to attract the most
important Palestinian medical professionals who
dreamed of returning to Palestine. We promise to
always strive to deliver the highest quality care
provided with Palestinian hands.
The next two projects are the Liquid Oxygen
Manufacturing Plant and the Istishari Cancer Center
(ICC). During the Covid crisis, we realized that all our
liquid oxygen needs were imported, so we studied the
fact that we can establish our units to cover the
Palestinian needs. This project will start operating
within a few months. As for the ICC, this cancer center
will provide radiotherapy services for the first time in
Palestine.
Our journey as a group was hard and we had to come
through a lot to achieve where we are today. Put aside
the difficult political and financial situation our
government is facing, the idea of privatizing health
services is still new to the government, patients, and
even our employees. This is extremely challenging,
especially since we lack universal health coverage or a
solid public health insurance system.
Regardless of all, the Arab Hospitals Group will
continue to work to close the gaps in health services
provided in Palestine. Our primary focus is to include

services not provided by our public hospitals. Our
journey will not be easy, but we believe we are on our
way. On the other side, the healthcare world is
continuously evolving and is depending more and more
on technology. Since we believe that our understanding
of how healthcare works is deep, we believe we have a
huge responsibility to contribute to this digital health
revolution.
Tell us something more about your company and its
mission and vision.
The mission of our Group is to be recognized as a
trusted leader in the Palestinian healthcare system and
as a national leader in secondary and tertiary care
services, incorporating innovative and evidence–based
practices.
Our group is proud of the
fact that we provide
high-quality services.

We provide a comprehensive healthcare service
through evidence-based clinical practices and
excellence in delivering quality healthcare services with
a strong believe in education and clinical research. We
play an active role in promoting and expanding the
national healthcare system horizon through
collaborations with a wide range of partners to address
the needs of the Palestinian community while
complying with national and international recognized
hospital standards.
Describe in detail the values and the work culture that
drives your organization.
One of our best qualities as a workplace is that we
believe that our employees are owners. We emphasis
the ownership principle in our work culture. It's always
delightful to see that a lot of our employees started the
journey with us and are still part of our family today.
Without the support from them we would not have
reached where we are today.
Another value we always emphasis is that we believe in
continuous training and education. We were among the
first institutes to establish continuous education and
training units in Palestine. Since the start, we had
strongly believed in capacity building.
Given that a lot of our projects and work areas were
new to the Palestinian healthcare market, we had to
train our own staff. At first, we were relying so much on
the international training teams, but year by year our
senior teams started training our junior teams. Some
are still working with us to this day; others left their
jobs to join other hospitals, which is very pleasing to us.
Our teams are growing, and they are benefiting the
community no matter which hospitals they are working
with.
What, according to you, could be the next significant
change in the healthcare sector? How is your company
preparing to be a part of that change?
Covid-19 highlighted the importance of technology in
this fast-changing world and most importantly the
increasing role of digitalization in healthcare institutes.

I believe that our experience and knowledge of
healthcare and medical issues are boundless, thus the
responsibility to tackle all the health-related challenges
and join efforts to contribute to the wave of the rising
role of technology in providing care.
Undeniably, technology is playing a signiﬁcant role in
almost every sector. How are you leveraging
technological advancements to make your solutions
resourceful?
We have exciting collaborations with local and
international educational institutions to promote the
use of Artiﬁcial Intelligence in health. We are training
our staff for the new era in the hope of developing new
services in alignment with our classical healthcare
delivery model.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
who aspire to venture into the healthcare sector?
My advice to budding entrepreneurs in the healthcare
sector is that the journey needs hard work and it's a
continuous learning journey. Be patient, be humthere
are still a lot of areas not touched nor discussed by big
businesses or even governments that are worthy of
close attention. It's always important to tackle these
new challenges or obstacles, and don't re-do what
others handled before you. There is still huge potential
to leave footprints in the healthcare sector.

What We Should Consider
he rapid pace of innovation has led to the
Tdevelopment of new emerging technologies that
have the potential to transform our lives,
businesses, and even entire industries in ways we
cannot even imagine. In addition to artificial
intelligence, which is getting an enormous amount of
attention right now, they include IoT, blockchain,
machine learning, and so much more.
However, along with the great potential of these
technologies, there comes great responsibility. It is
essential that we consider the ethical implications of
these technologies before we can fully implement them
on a large scale and truly reap their benefits.
As technology continues to expand and become more
pervasive, stakeholders must continue to be mindful of
the ethical implications of the technologies they
develop. This includes taking into account the potential
social, economic, environmental, human health, privacy,
and security impacts of new technologies.
Unfortunately, many organizations and their leaders
seldom develop an overall approach to the ethical
impacts of emerging technology use.
It is important that we consider the ethical implications
of emerging technologies carefully before we fully
adopt them. Only by doing so can we ensure that we are
using these technologies for the greater good and
creating better outcomes for all.
In this article, we will take a deep dive into the ethics
surrounding emerging technologies and the
stakeholders impacted by them. I also included a brief
guideline for ethical decision-making.
Moral Imagination and Technology
Moral imagination is an important ethical consideration
when it comes to emerging technologies. It involves
looking at the potential implications of a technology
both now and in the future. Moral imagination requires
us to think beyond the present use case and consider
what the technology might be used for in the future and
how it could be used in unexpected ways.
It also requires us to think about how the technology
could be used to benefit society or the environment,
how it could be abused, and who might be left behind by
the technology's implementation. In order to make
ethical decisions about technology, stakeholders must
be able to use moral imagination to anticipate the
potential consequences and plan for their mitigation.
The Evolving Landscape of Technology Ethics
As technology progresses, the ethical implications of
new technologies become more complex. Technology is
no longer just about making things faster and cheaper;
it is also about shaping human behavior, culture, and
beliefs.
In fact, in a report, the World Economic Forum stated
that "Technologies have a clear moral dimension — that
is to say, a fundamental aspect that relates to value,
ethics, and norms. Technologies reflect the interests,
behaviors, and desires of their creators, and shape how

the people using them can realize their potential,
identities, relationships, and goals."
Yet, the ubiquity of technology and its applications in
everyday life raises new questions about the ethical
implications of these technologies.
Because of this, technology ethics is an evolving
landscape. In addition to considering the ethical
implications of the technology itself, stakeholders must
also think about the ethical implications of how the
technology is being used. This includes considering who
might have access to the technology, who is responsible
for developing and using it, who will be most impacted
by it, and how its use will impact the environment.
Who are the Stakeholders?
Stakeholders are individuals who are directly or
indirectly affected by a technology and have an interest
in its use and development. These stakeholders can
include the people who use and benefit from the
technology, the people who develop the technology,
and the people who are impacted by its use.
For instance, if a new AI-powered medical device is
being developed, the stakeholders might include the
device manufacturer, healthcare professionals, the
regulators overseeing the device, the patients affected
by the device, and the public whose medical records
might be accessed by the device.
Stakeholders should be identified early on in the
technology development process in order to ensure
that their perspectives and needs are taken into
account in the design and implementation of the
technology. Proper consideration of stakeholders can
help mitigate the potential negative ethical implications
of new technologies.
Guidelines for Ethical Decision-Making
Once the moral implications of a technology have been
considered and weighed, the stakeholders can create
ethical guidelines for decision-making. These guidelines
should be developed by a team of stakeholders from
diverse backgrounds who can bring a range of
perspectives to the decision-making process.
The guidelines should include a solid framework for
ethical decision-making, such as a cost-benefit analysis
and a consideration of the rights of all stakeholders, as
well as specific guidelines for the use of the technology.
The guidelines should also incorporate a process of
ongoing review and consultation with stakeholders to
ensure the ethical guidelines remain relevant and up-
to-date. Finally, the guidelines should include
provisions to ensure compliance and accountability, as
well as reinforce the values they are meant to uphold.
The development and deployment of emerging
technologies often carry moral implications, both in
terms of the impact of the technology itself and the
values that govern its introduction and use. As such, it is
crucial that stakeholders, including governments,
businesses, and citizens, do not underestimate the
ethical considerations that must accompany the design,
production, and deployment of a new emerging
technology. By assessing the moral implications of a
technology prior to deploying it and creating ethical
guidelines for decision-making, stakeholders can
ensure that their values are integrated and upheld in
the technology's use. This can help to make sure that
the technology serves everyone's best interests.
