Leadership Change in Nahariya: Prof. Masad Barhoum Steps Down as Director of the Medical Center
Published
After nearly 20 years in the position, Prof. Masad Barhoum has announced his retirement from the management of the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya. Prof. Barhoum, a specialist in family medicine, has headed the hospital since 2007 and led it to significant achievements over the years.
Prof. Barhoum's appointment in 2007 was a historic event in the Israeli healthcare system. He was the first Arab physician selected by the Ministry of Health to manage a government hospital in Israel. During his tenure, he became a well-known and highly respected figure in the medical community and among the residents of the north.
Under his leadership, the medical center in Nahariya developed and coped with complex challenges, especially during periods of security tension in the northern region. The hospital became a central medical hub serving a diverse and broad population, while providing advanced medical care to the residents of the Galilee.
Prof. Barhoum's retirement marks the end of a long and significant era at the medical institution. The Ministry of Health is expected to soon begin the process of selecting a successor to lead the hospital in the coming years, with an emphasis on continued development and service to the public.
