Improving quality of care with M. Rashad Massoud

Via our new 'Brights Spots in Health & Care' interview series, we aim to provide a platform for sharing best practises, lessons learned, and inspiring transformational leadership within health and care systems worldwide. Our leadership interviews focus specifically on the personal leadership journeys of some of the brilliant senior leaders we have met and worked with.

In this episode, Q5's Charlie Penny is joined by M. Rashad Massoud, MD, MPH, FACP, a medical doctor turned c-suite executive who has worked to improve healthcare in 102 countries. ​Based in Washington DC, Rashad has led healthcare improvement and disaster response efforts with the organisations such as Americares, USAID, UNICEF, the World Bank and World Health Organisation, to name just a few.

Rashad addresses key questions about leadership in healthcare, including:

• Where have you seen the management of knowledge in health and care systems done well?
• How have your leadership roles changed as a result of crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic?
• What do you look for in leaders at all levels of your organisation?
• What advice would you give young leaders for how to be successful?
