My Journey
From pharmacy halls to a regional healthcare ecosystem
Dr. Mahmoud Yahia’s work starts from a simple idea: the future of healthcare is not a single product or service, but connected systems that join specialized knowledge, technology, manufacturing, trade, distribution, and the consumer experience.
He graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy at Al-Azhar University in 2011, and in the same year took his first entrepreneurial step by founding Mahmoud Yahia Pharmacies in Egypt. In parallel he worked in pharmaceutical marketing in Egypt before moving to Saudi Arabia in 2013.
In Saudi Arabia his experience grew through medical and pharmaceutical sales and marketing, advancing to leadership roles in marketing. With that executive depth he turned toward founding ventures that combine health knowledge, commercial experience, and technology — which led to Naqla Sehia as an umbrella with two paths: information technology and medical industries.
Today he is developing a business ecosystem across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Oman, focused on healthcare and its links to technology, industry, products, trade, and investment. Alongside business activity, he built a media and digital presence under “Doctor Vitamin,” simplifying vitamins and supplements knowledge for Arabic-speaking audiences.
