About Dr. Hisham Hassan Elhaj
Dr. Hisham Hassan Elhaj is a general physician at Dar Al Kamal Hospital in Sharjah whose work spans two kinds of care: sudden illness that needs assessing quickly, and long-term conditions that need steady follow-up. In the emergency department that means sorting out what is urgent, stabilising patients who are seriously unwell and starting treatment. In the clinic, much of the work is helping adults keep diabetes, blood pressure and other chronic conditions under control.
Dr. Hassan has more than 10 years of experience, the last eight in emergency departments and internal medicine. Before joining Dar Al Kamal Hospital he worked for four years in emergency and internal medicine at Saudi German Hospital in Sharjah, after six months at Saudi German Hospital in Dubai. Earlier he spent three years and eight months in general practice and emergency care at King Khalid Hospital in Saudi Arabia, and two years in general practice and emergency work with an African NGO in Sudan, Kenya and Somalia. His internship rotated through medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery and pediatrics at teaching hospitals in Sudan.
Alongside a medical degree from Bakht Al Ruda University, Dr. Hassan holds a master's degree in public health medicine from Webster University in the USA and has passed the primary examination of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. He is licensed by the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention and registered with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties and the Sudan Medical Council.
