Clear explanations and a careful, unhurried assessment are what patients notice first when they see Dr. Zaid Mahdi. He practices family medicine and also works in emergency medicine and infectious diseases, so he is comfortable handling both everyday concerns and more complex cases. With 25 years of clinical work behind him, he now serves as HOD of the Emergency Department at Canadian Specialist Hospital. His training began at Al-Mustansiriya University, College of Medicine in Baghdad, and his qualifications include an MBCHB, a Diploma in Infectious Diseases and MRCGP. He holds registration with the Canadian Medical Council and licenses from Iraq, the UAE Ministry of Health and the DHA in Dubai. Consultations are available in Arabic and English, allowing patients to describe their symptoms in the language they know best.
