Mecomed, the Medical Technology Association in the Middle East and Africa, has launched the Women in MedTech Network (WMN), a platform dedicated to empowering women professionals across medtech in the MEA region.
WMN is set to promote a supportive environment for female professionals in medtech by offering networking opportunities, a structured mentorship program, and resources for professional growth. The initiative is designed to inspire, equip, and empower women to achieve new heights in medtech, contributing to a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
According to Rami Rajab, CEO, Mecomed, only 1% of CEO positions in the MEA medtech sector are held by women. “The Women in MedTech Network is a vital initiative for the industry. By providing essential resources and mentorship, this platform empowers women to excel and lead innovation within medtech, ultimately enhancing healthcare outcomes for our region.”
The launch event featured key sessions on the network’s vision and objectives, an introduction to the mentorship program, and networking opportunities. These sessions aim to inspire attendees and lay a strong foundation for a community that will uplift, support, and connect female professionals across medtech.
