Dr. Walid Fitaihi Shows the Way

Dr. Walid Fitaihi spent 20 years in the United States before returning to Saudi Arabia to found Jeddah’s prestigious 300-bed International Medical Center (IMC). In addition to the ultramodern medical technology he was exposed to as a health care professional abroad, he also saw an integrated workplace where men and women professionals worked together to save lives and help thousands of people.
When the center opened late last year, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah commended the private sector for its great contributions to the nation’s health care and wished it every success. And success has come to the IMC in part because of the incredible contributions that women are making there.
Dr. Fitaihi, who serves as the center’s CEO and board chairman, said more than half of the staff is female. He says hiring women makes solid business sense because it gives him a staff on whom his patients can depend. “It is easier for me to find an intelligent, hard-working, dedicated Saudi woman than a Saudi man in the market,” Dr. Fitaihi told Arab News. “This has been my experience at IMC. We have more than 50 percent women working with us. They are successful because they, Saudi women, have a drive to excel and to prove to themselves that they can do it — and do it better. They have come up in a big way in the last decade. They have excelled in the professions they have chosen. I hear they are even excelling in colleges and in schools. They’re doing much, much better than their male counterparts.
