Our Story
The Story of Hawras Projects & Int’l Trading Ltd. (dba HPIT)
Who We Are and What We Do
HPIT was established in 2001 in Amman, Jordan, with the aim of expanding the founder’s business ventures that were established in Baghdad in 1994.
It is said that the most exciting companies are born during crises. It was Iraq of 1994 – a period of unprecedented geopolitical tensions and economic hardships resulting from the embargo – when HPIT founder decided to establish his first office in Baghdad, aspiring to create and develop a qualified healthcare provider that would play an influential role in the overall landscape of the healthcare service ecosystem in Iraq.
Despite the impossibility of planning the necessary foundations for establishing an institutional work that meets the minimum standards in such a difficult circumstance in Iraq’s history, the founder decided to move forward by following a challenging path based on investing in data analysis sourced from professionally recognized sources, aiming to unleash possible initiatives that focused on a patients-centered approach to securing quality services accessible to everyone, even if it required prioritizing innovation support over company growth goals.
Our company takes pride in its firm belief in its founder’s path, which has become a strong pillar in HPIT’s culture to this day.
Our Approach
At the time, HPIT has diligently sought to establish advanced partnerships with a select group of world-class Medical Technology Owners specializing in specific fields. The goal is to reflect on their successful experiences in their respective countries and apply them within the Iraqi regulated healthcare ecosystem in coordination and joint efforts with the relevant authorities in the Ministry of Health and healthcare policy-making institutions.
The persistent efforts of the company’s professionals have resulted in adding medical services and protocols that were not present within the mainstream of the healthcare system. They have contributed to introducing advanced and continuously upgradable technologies that have played a significant role in improving patient care, reducing costs, and enhancing the quality of medical services. This has opened doors to new possibilities in diagnosis and treatment, supported by the necessary regulatory frameworks to assist policymakers to the extent permitted by available resources. This marks the clear crystallization of the company’s mission, which revolves around “Engineering the Future of Medicine.”
Compliance & Trust
Throughout the company’s long operations, flagged by the solid advocacy of the FCPA code of conduct, HPIT has maintained its compliance certification granted by TRACE – an organization specializing in anti-corruption legislative frameworks – for the third consecutive year. HPIT’s extensive disciplined activities earned the trust of the Iraqi Ministry of Health, healthcare providers & the scientific medical societies of Iraq.

Today, HPIT’s name has become synonymous with the specialized healthcare distributor that provides standardized solutions & innovative products for the medical needs of the Iraqi healthcare continuum and continues to remain faithful to its mission and institutional vision.
