Working as a freelance designer has a lot of benefits in the variety of projects I work on, & the organizations I work with. Design is a very challenging & highly amusing field. Design entitles being on top of the latest trends, following the best practices, standards & codes, communicating clearly & effectively with all the people involved with the project, understanding & translating the needs & requirements of clients into an efficient, humane, sustainable & flexible design, that is also cost effective & aesthetically pleasing to its various users.
Medical equipment planning & management is also a crucial part of the process, from the initial concept, to their installation & proper operation.

Delta medical office is one of the most prominent companies in the field of CSSD, pharmaceutical and surgical suite equipment, and the agent of STERIS co. (previously AMSCO). I started there as a sales engineer, inside the company I was interested in developing some aspects of the business & organisational structure, especially since more and more turn key projects were secured. I was assigned the post of planning and development manager, which was very exciting and rewarding on all levels. The next stage for me was managing turn key projects, one of the main pluses in this position is enhancing my knowledge of all aspects of medical equipment, & how our market responded to the different manufacturers & technologies.

This was an invaluable lesson in the quality of healthcare, and in innovative approaches to business management. It was also and added value in deepening my understanding of how one day surgery centers actually worked. Having more space and authority, I had the chance to devise a preventive maintenance plan, was more able to keep a closer eye on the equipment, and was better acquainted with the medical equipment companies who had maintenance contracts with the center.

Misr. Medical Co.

Cairo, Egypt

The company worked in the field of medical gases & surgical suite equipment. My job mostly was installing equipment in new projects all over Egypt, & providing the subsequent training & maintenance. Travelling outside Cairo gave me a specific idea of the state of healthcare in the various regions & their different needs, a bigger picture view of the system. Focusing on installation & training helped me considerably later on in planning & design.
