Welcome Message from the Dean

It is with great honor and enthusiasm that I extend my warmest greetings as the Dean of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST).

Guided by the values of excellence, integrity, and inclusivity, the College of Health Sciences is a cornerstone of UDST’s mission to deliver applied education that meets the real-world needs of our society. Our commitment aligns deeply with the Qatar National Vision 2030, which prioritizes a world-class healthcare system, human capital development, and sustainable progress. In this context, our role extends beyond the classroom—we are shaping future-ready professionals who will be leaders, innovators, and compassionate caregivers. 

I believe that innovation thrives when diverse voices come together with a shared purpose. Therefore, I am committed to fostering strong partnerships—within the university, across health sectors in Qatar, and with international institutions—that will elevate our impact and expand opportunities for students and faculty alike.   

Together, we will continue to build a college that is responsive to the dynamic health challenges of our time, rooted in research and evidence-based practice, and driven by a vision of health and well-being for all.  Our students are the heartbeat of this mission, and we will ensure they are empowered with the skills, knowledge, and ethical foundation to excel in a rapidly evolving global healthcare landscape.

I invite all stakeholders—students, faculty, industry partners, and community members—to join us in this journey. Through collaboration, creativity, and a shared commitment to excellence, we will advance the future of health sciences education in Qatar and beyond.
