Maha Sallam

Laboratory and Blood Bank Service Line Lead

Maha Sallam is Laboratory and Blood Bank Service Line Lead and a clinical costing expert for the Al-Ahsa Health Cluster. Leading a service line across a cluster means owning laboratory and transfusion services for a whole population rather than a single hospital, and her costing background gives her an unusual vantage point on the economics of diagnostics. Her particular argument is that laboratory key performance indicators carry information well beyond the laboratory, and that read properly they can inform clinical and financial decisions across the wider health system.
