About

Maher Mominah is a leading figure in the advancement of automated pharmacy technology, with a focused expertise in the robotic compounding of sterile, high-risk medications. His pioneering work directly addresses the critical challenges of safety, accuracy, and efficiency in the preparation of antineoplastic and other small-volume parenteral drugs. Mominah’s most impactful contribution, a three-year performance evaluation of a first-generation chemotherapy-compounding robot (39 citations), provided some of the earliest, real-world evidence on the operational reliability and error-reduction potential of such systems. This landmark study, conducted at a Saudi Arabian hospital, demonstrated that automation could significantly enhance safety protocols for both patients and healthcare workers handling hazardous drugs. Further expanding this field, his subsequent work on a standalone robotic device for batch compounding (7 citations) explored the system’s ability to decrease drug wastage and create a retrievable electronic audit trail, reinforcing the value of automation in achieving operational efficiency. Through these rigorous, practice-changing evaluations, Mominah has established himself as a key voice in the global conversation on the future of sterile compounding, providing essential data that supports the transition from manual to robotic processes in hospital pharmacies.
