Biography
I am a Community Medicine Specialist and graduated from the Medical Faculty of Istanbul University in 1999. I have been employed at Palestinian MOH's Primary and Secondary Health Care facilities for 4 years. In November 2005, I received a scholarship from the Qatar Red Crescent (QRC) Arab Board for Community Medicine. I served for one year (2010) as a Community Medicine Specialist in the Department of Non-Communicable and Communicable Diseases and part-time consultant in the Community Medicine Training Program of the Supreme Health Council of Qatar (SCH).
Since January 2011, I have been a member of ANNU, currently serving as Associate Professor in Community Medicine and Scientific Research Coordinator at the Faculty of Medicine and Human Sciences.
