Dr. Lina Yousif

Dr. Lina Yousif is a UK-trained consultant family medicine physician and director of Nad Al Sheba Clinic at American Hospital Dubai. She completed her medical degree (MBChB) at the University of Mosul in Iraq, then undertook all postgraduate training in the United Kingdom, including specialty registrar training and membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners. She brings over 11 years' experience from the British National Health Service, working across primary, secondary, and tertiary care hospitals in northwest England.

Dr. Yousif manages a broad range of conditions commonly seen in general practice. She specializes in chronic disease management—including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart failure, gout, and chronic kidney disease—with a focus on long-term assessment and follow-up care. Her women's health expertise covers bladder and urinary tract infections, period disorders, initial investigation of fertility problems, contraception, and menopause. She also provides care for children, older adults (including falls assessment), musculoskeletal problems such as back and joint pain, and mental health concerns including stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Dr. Yousif takes a preventative approach, offering health checkups, screening, travel medicine advice, and vaccinations. She is well suited to patients seeking continuity of care for multiple long-term conditions, those requiring women's health support, or anyone looking for a comprehensive general practitioner with strong NHS-based clinical training.
