Mohammed A.F. Al-Rawi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prof. Dr. Mohammed A.F. Al-Rawi (Arabic: محمد الراوي‎) (died July 27, 2003) was a medical specialist, a member of the Baath Party, one of the personal physician of Saddam Hussein, and president of Baghdad University. Note that all highly qualified and skilled physicians had to make rounds at the Ibn Sina hospital in Baghdad, which was a special hospital set aside exclusively for the leadership of the country at the time. His service there, and that of other physicians, was a reflection of their excellence in their field rather than their political affiliation.

Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, al-Rawi was reinstated as president of Baghdad University by US Deputy Proconsul Robin Raphel in May 2003.
