Dr. Hussein Naji

Dr. Hussein Naji is a consultant paediatric surgeon at Mediclinic with over two decades of clinical experience across the Middle East and Northern Europe. He trained at Al-Nahrain University in Baghdad, qualifying in 1994, and completed specialist paediatric surgery training by 2001. His career includes seven years at leading Swedish university hospitals—Akademiska University Hospital in Uppsala (2007–2010) and Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm (2010–2013)—before working at American Hospital Dubai and joining Mediclinic.

Dr. Naji specialises in both general paediatric surgery and neonatal surgery, with particular strength in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques. He treats a wide range of childhood surgical conditions including inguinal hernias, undescended testes and other urological problems, skin lumps and haemangiomas, pyloric stenosis, diaphragmatic hernias, bowel atresia, and acute abdominal conditions such as appendicitis. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed articles and is a regular speaker at national and international medical conferences.

Dr. Naji is a good fit for parents seeking a surgeon with international training, research credentials, and experience managing complex neonatal and children's surgical emergencies and elective procedures using both open and keyhole approaches.
