Background and experience
Care Connect Pathway is led by Jalal Hafeedh, Founder and Director, with more than three decades of experience across public and private healthcare services.
Jalal began his healthcare career in 1978 with the Department of Health and Medical Services of the Government of Dubai, UAE. He joined as an Administrative Officer and, over seventeen years of service, progressed to Senior Manpower and Development Officer, managing manpower requirements for hospitals under the department.
He then spent twenty-two years in Dubai's private health sector as Director of a general hospital and a specialised hospital, working across both strategic and operational levels.
This experience motivated Jalal to establish Care Recruitment, supporting both clients and candidates to their mutual advantage and helping address healthcare recruitment challenges in New Zealand.
