OUR TEAMS
COMMITTED PROFESSIONALS
What sets Mehad apart is its determination to co-create its intervention programs with local healthcare players and to provide maximum opportunities for local professionals. Our ‘head office’ team, based in Paris, is deliberately small compared with the 500 professionals working in the field under the Mehad banner in the different countries where we operate.

I’ve been involved with Mehad since he was born, and as a medical student at the time, I wanted to raise public awareness of the issue of sexual violence as a weapon of war in conflict zones. This commitment took shape when I became a psychiatrist specialising in psycho-trauma and became involved in supporting communications and missions to promote the mental health of victims of war and its consequences over several generations.
Being a member of the Board today is a continuation of this commitment, enabling me to take a more active role in these projects.
Lyna Chami, psychiatrist
Guided by our actions, morals, medical ethics, and principles of humanity and neutrality, we, the members of Mehad, tirelessly strive to develop healthcare programs that benefit populations in an independent and impartial manner.

It has been a year since I embraced my role as a Finance Coordinator at Mehad. I was drawn to the chance to work internationally and the positive, collaborative environment fostered by a supportive, goal-oriented team. The good energy, mutual respect, and opportunities for skill development make each day fulfilling. Some of my highlights include receiving donor approvals and celebrating significant milestones—witnessing and sharing the joy with everyone is incredibly rewarding. Who would have imagined that finance could be this enjoyable?
Nawar Kassem, Finance Coordinator
I began my traineeship as a Development Project Officer at Mehad and have evolved into a Purchasing and Shipping Coordinator for the Ukraine mission over the past year and a half. Working on purposeful projects and maintaining regular contact with teams on the ground has given my professional journey a strong sense of purpose.
Lou Abraham, Purchasing and Shipping Coordinator (Ukraine)
I joined Mehad in January 2024 as a Financial Director after my experience as an auditor and statutory auditor at EY and KPMG. I was drawn to Mehad’s values and mission, particularly the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those in need through my work. Each day, I am motivated by our positive impact on the ground.
Fedi Hbazi, Financial Director
