Experience

Dr. Fadi Salah Issa has become one of the world's leading experts in the field of Emergency Medicine. For more than 20 years he has developed a tireless work in this subspecialty of Urgencies and Emergencies

A work that starts from his performance as an emergency physician at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, where he implemented a new system and rapid care facility that reduced waiting times for patients. This allowed him to improve care and more efficiently handle complex cases of oncology, transplant patients and congenital diseases. Thanks to his deep interest in providing the best healthcare response to disaster situations, Salah Issa has turned his efforts to academia and research, promoting specialized and continuous education for medical professionals. 

In this regard, he is the Director of Education for the Disaster Medicine Fellowship at the BIMC Medical Havard Medical School. A role that joins the co-supervision of the European Disaster Medicine Thesis Board at the University of Eastern Piedmont.  His impact in this area has been positive, contributing to the better preparation of health workers. In addition, his concern for humanitarian work has led him to become involved in the World Association of Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM), where he serves as chairman of the special interest group against terrorism.  

In this line, his scientific studies also include his analysis of attacks on educational institutions, the prevention of post-traumatic stress and the promotion of the resilience of healthcare personnel in the face of COVID-19, anti-terrorist medicine and the analysis of variability in the training of expatriate pre-hospital providers in Bahrain
