Salwa Malhas, Executive Vice President at Al Mazaya Holding, Eng. Nidal Yaeesh, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Projects, Jasim Al Ghanem, Assistant Vice President of Marketing at Al Mazaya Holding, and Dr Ayad Saymah, Managing Partner of DELTAmed, the company which was awarded a contract for specialized medical consultancy services at Clover Clinic.
Dr Al Ghanem will run facility as a comprehensive medical polyclinics that includes medical specialties such as an ultra modern dental clinic, an advanced diagnostic radiology center equipped with the latest MRI, CT and X-Ray systems, and a clinical laboratory equipped with the latest technologies from ROCHE, the world’s leading provider of laboratory equipment.

Dr Al Ghanem stated that the center is the first medical facility in Kuwait to offer these treatment services, which patients were previously seeking treatment abroad. The equipment used at the polyclinics has been approved by the FDA, and it will offer clinics for contracted doctors, offering multinational doctors the opportunity to practice at the center.
Eng Omar Al Farouk, Executive Assistant of the Director General at Technology World Medical Equipment and Services, the company in charge of medial equipment, interior designs, information technology, medical engineering services, human resources and management of Global Med, stated that the medial equipment will match the world latest technologies, some of which will be on offer to the Kuwait medical community for the first time. He added that Clover Clinic will have a group of highly qualified doctors in Kuwait, making it the ultimate destination for anyone who seeks comprehensive and exceptional medical services.
Speaking on the occasion, Al Nafisi said: “The lesson Al Mazaya has learnt in light of the current economic situation, both in the GCC markets and worldwide, is the necessity to diversify revenue sources to cater to the diverse demand and to protect assets. This integrated medical complex, which is offered for rent, forms part of this approach. Clover Clinic aims to address the lack of some modern medical specialties. It is the first of its kind in Kuwait, and is expected to expand to most neighboring GCC countries that are looking for top quality medical services at competitive rates.
“Awarding the contract to Dr Al Ghanem is a step forward, and in line with the vision of the project to award the operation and management contracts to experienced parties who are constantly able to develop medical services at reasonable rates in order to cater to the needs of large groups of people from Kuwait and the region.

That said, Al Mazaya is currently engaged in issuing the necessary licenses to connect the power to the project. We expect this to be completed shortly, hopefully enabling the project to be opened to patients in October,” he added.
Said Dr Al Ghanem: “Up until Al Mazaya developed Clover Clinic, we had been seeking an integrated complex with modern medical standards and multiple medical specialties to cater to the people’s needs. This medical center is the first step, to be followed by an integrated medical center and a specialized treatment center in accordance with our future vision of the project, in co-operation with doctors working on the project.”
Dr Al Ghanem has over 25 year experiences in healthcare sector. He has held a number of senior positions in the Ministry of Health and the private sector. Al Ghanem’s experiences range from clinics to healthcare management and medical services.
