I was born and raised in Syria. I lived my youth between my hometown, Latakia, and Damascus. From my beloved Syria, I acquired invaluable surgical experience in General and Cardiac Surgery with hard sacrifices. I brought to Italy my relevant experience, to apply and refine day by day in the country where my sons Zacharias and Isaac live. Italy, bathed by the same Mediterranean as Syria, has given me a new thought, a match of two widely different worlds with common roots. I would like to pass on to my children the same open – minded attitude, to make them children of the world. These few words embody my complex personality, which I decided to put to the service of all the people who suffer.
