I am a Consultant Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgeon with over 10 years of experience in advanced laparoscopic, bariatric, endocrine, and gastrointestinal surgery. I currently practice at Al-Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem and within the Arab Hospitals Group, including Istishari Hospital, Ibn Sina Hospital, and Arab Specialized Hospital, with a strong focus on innovation, precision, and patient-centered surgical outcomes.
Academically, I serve as an Assistant Professor at Al-Quds University, where I am actively involved in surgical education, clinical mentorship, and academic development for medical students and surgical trainees.
I also serve as the Director of the General Surgery Residency Program within the Arab Hospitals Group, leading surgical training and educational development across multiple hospitals and institutions. My work focuses on building structured, competency-based surgical education systems aligned with international standards and modern training methodologies.
As a proud member of the Robotic Global Surgical Society (TROGSS) and an author with IntechOpen, I am actively engaged in advancing AI-enhanced, robotic, and minimally invasive surgical techniques to improve surgical safety, efficiency, and recovery.
Beyond clinical practice, I am deeply passionate about developing the future of surgery in Palestine through education, mentorship, and innovation. Together with colleagues and institutions, we are working to build internationally recognized surgical training programs that empower Palestinian surgeons and connect them with the global surgical community.
Driven by curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement, my mission is to advance minimally invasive surgery and contribute to safer, smarter, and globally connected surgical care.
