Dr. Fadhil Hussein Ghayb Al Rubaye is a Consultant in Paediatric Cardiology at Medcare Hospital in Sharjah, with 26 years of clinical experience. He trained at the Baghdad Medical College and completed specialist training at the Ibn Albitar Cardiac Centre in Baghdad, followed by fellowships in general paediatrics and paediatric cardiology.

He specializes in managing children with heart conditions, including congenital heart disease (heart problems present from birth) and acquired heart disorders. His clinical skills span diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms (ultrasound of the heart), ECG (electrical heart tracings), Holter monitors, and exercise stress tests. He performs cardiac catheterization—a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat heart conditions—using both non-invasive and catheter-based techniques. He also manages patients in cardiac and neonatal intensive care units and supports multiple hospital departments with cardiac expertise.

Dr. Al Rubaye is passionate about training junior doctors and serves as a clinical adjunct assistant professor at Dubai Medical College and Muhammad Bin Rashid University. He is particularly committed to managing adult congenital heart disease—a growing clinical area as children with complex heart conditions reach adulthood. He conducts fitness-for-work assessments, including clearance for surgery, travel, military service, and dental procedures.
