Dr. Haytham Bou Houssein

Dr. Haytham Bou Houssein is a pediatric cardiologist based at Dubai Health in the United Arab Emirates. He completed his medical degree at Beirut Arab University in 2012 and went on to pursue specialized training in pediatric cardiology, earning a fellowship from the American University of Beirut in 2019. His clinical career has taken him across the region, including positions at the American University of Beirut Medical Center and King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Bou Houssein focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions in children, with particular expertise in transcatheter (catheter-based) procedures for structural heart defects. His published work includes experience with atrial septal defect closure—a minimally invasive technique to repair holes between the heart's upper chambers—as well as management of complications in pediatric patients. He has contributed to the medical literature on outcomes of these procedures in both developing and developed healthcare settings.

He is well suited for families seeking a specialist in congenital heart disease and children who require sophisticated, non-surgical cardiac interventions.
