A Global Medical Journey

Dr. Nakad began his medical journey in the United States after completing high school in Damascus. He earned his undergraduate, medical, and postgraduate degrees from reputable institutions in Michigan, Texas, and Wisconsin. His medical expertise was solidified through internal medicine and geriatrics practice in Southfield, Michigan, where he also served as Medical Director of a 240-bed advanced care hospital.

He is a licensed practitioner in both Michigan and the United Arab Emirates, and a member of:

  • The American College of Physicians

Healthcare in the UAE

Transforming Healthcare in the UAE

In 2003, Dr. Nakad relocated to the UAE to establish one of the first advanced day surgery hospitals in Abu Dhabi. Over the next 15 years, he launched and managed nine successful healthcare ventures, ranging from surgical and diagnostic centers to award-winning home healthcare services. Notably, his facilities were the first in the Middle East to achieve Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, a testament to their quality and operational excellence.

His projects gained significant investor interest and were acquired by international firms listed on European financial markets—delivering outstanding returns and reinforcing his reputation for creating scalable, high-value healthcare enterprises.

A Return to Rebuild Syria’s Healthcare Future

With his UAE chapter concluded, Dr. Nakad visited over ten countries exploring new opportunities but ultimately chose to return to Syria. Moved by a sense of responsibility and vision, he founded Innova Healthcare Consultancy to contribute to the rebuilding of Syria’s healthcare system after years of conflict.

Based on local resilience and international standards, he offers investors a once in a generation opportunity to shape the future of Syria’s healthcare sector while delivering substantial social and financial returns.
