Today, healthcare is evolving so rapidly that only dynamic and visionary leaders like Amani Abulaban,, the CEO of Webteb, could know that innovation and technology are the keys to addressing complex medical challenges.
With her extensive experience in healthcare management and a passion for leveraging digital solutions to improve patient outcomes, Amani is transforming Webteb into a leading force in the Middle Eastern healthcare sector. As a beacon of leadership and ingenuity, she is poised to significantly impact the future of healthcare in the region and beyond.
An Oasis of Health and Wellness Knowledge
Webteb is the most reputable and visited platform for health and wellness information in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). As of now, millions of users from across the Arab world visit its platforms (website, mobile app, and social media) daily to make intent-based search inquiries and get trusted information for their health and wellness inquiries.
Amani says they are committed to helping people live healthier lives by giving them authentic, reliable and culturally appropriate information they need. “Our content, which healthcare professionals develop, covers many subjects such as health tips, disease-related content, advice on wellness, mental health, and preventive care.”
All of the platforms they employ are there to ensure that their users can easily access the information that they need, which helps them make the best decisions for their health.
As a trailblazer in the healthcare world, taking us back to the beginning of her journey, Amani says that the strong inner wish to help those who suffer and have her work mean something genuine that was the driving force behind her march into healthcare and study Pharmacy. “Having worked for the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies such as AstraZeneca and MSD in the early days, I was deeply touched by the great influence of advanced medical products on the astonishing cures they delivered.” Realizing that there is a real gap in the reliable Arabi health and wellness information on the internet and that technology in the region was not fully used for the healthcare sector, particularly health and wellness education through the MENA market, This was a new drive for Amani, eventually bringing her to Webteb. “Here, I can afford to use my healthcare, marketing, and digital transformation abilities to add value to one of the millions of Arabic speakers that use our platforms,” she says.
The Guiding Philosophy
According to Amani, the success of Webteb is primarily based on its commitment to providing the Arab world with reliable, up-to-date Arabic health and wellness information. The unifying idea of Webteb is bringing in the information which people need to make decisions that lead to a healthy lifestyle, thus increasing the chances of quality health and life. She adds, “Our main focus is always on bringing knowledge through education and giving out trustworthy, well-researched information, written by healthcare professionals, that is adapted particularly to the Arabs for easier understanding. We appreciate that healthy people can make better, more productive decisions in their social lives.”
By utilizing the best technological trends and a deepened knowledge of the MENA region, they guarantee that their readers will not just speak about what is new but also ensure that their content is informative, cultural, and engaging. “Besides our dedication to perfectness, our cooperation with some of the most advanced medical centres globally, such as Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical School, and UCLA Health and top medical institutions and healthcare professionals in the MENA region, another reason for that we remain the top health platform in the region, aiding millions of Arab users via our website, mobile app, and social media platforms.”

A recent example is the introduction of the “Meet the Pioneers” podcast series, the biggest health and wellness-oriented podcast in MENA. This new approach to the audience granted Amani and her team increased personal interaction time as they showed their appreciation for being flexible and inventive in a dynamic market.
Also, the pandemic underscored the critical need for reliable health information. At Webteb, they rapidly adapted by enhancing their digital content and outreach efforts to address the evolving needs of their audience. They launched targeted awareness campaigns, provided real-time updates, and developed resources to support mental and physical health during the pandemic.
