Our Basel HCD Board 

Basel HCD was created in 2020 by Salman Bokhari. Salman decided to step down from HCD in 2024 to make room for other priorities: the Advisory Board and our HCD members are very grateful for creating this community and the work accomplished.

Salman handed over his accountabilities to a Board composed of 7 professionals.

Each brings their diversity and their professionalism to the table, all aligned to develop a meaningful and impactful network of healthcare professionals in Basel. 

The HCD network relies on the quality of its members. 

Contact us for a conversation, and ensure we share the same values and professional interests.
