Dr. Eman Ibrahim

Dr. Eman Ibrahim looks after babies, children and teenagers at Dar Al Kamal Hospital in Sharjah. She studied medicine at Aleppo University in Syria and went on to complete a master's degree in pediatrics there, holds the Syrian Board certification in pediatrics, and is licensed as a General Practitioner by the Dubai Health Authority.

Her training included a four-year pediatric residency at Aleppo University Hospital, where she managed children with complex conditions as part of multidisciplinary teams. She then worked as a general practitioner in pediatrics at Al Nahhas Hospital in Aleppo, caring for children in busy outpatient and emergency settings, and as a pediatric medical officer with the World Health Organization, supporting community health programmes.

Prevention is a large part of her work. She checks the growth and development of infants and children, runs vaccination services, takes part in newborn screening, and spends time explaining to parents how to keep their child healthy. She also assesses children who arrive unwell and need prompt care.

She has completed World Health Organization courses in malnutrition management, cholera management in children and the COVID-19 response in children, as well as a neonatal resuscitation course, and has published on acute watery diarrhoea during the cholera outbreak in Syria. She speaks Arabic, English and German.
