Dr. Taimoor Al Bulushi’s journey is not just about medical success, it is about changing lives. With steady hands and a compassionate heart, the renowned Omani craniofacial surgeon has become a source of hope for countless children and families across the region. His recent recognition at a major Middle East medical meeting in Egypt was a proud moment, reflecting years of dedication and hard work. Beyond awards and titles, it is his commitment to sharing knowledge, mentoring young surgeons, and improving care for children with facial differences that truly defines his inspiring legacy.
Dr. Taimoor Al Bulushi, a leading craniofacial surgeon from Oman, recently received a special honor at an important Middle East medical meeting held in Egypt. He was invited as an international guest faculty member, joining top doctors and experts from many countries. These specialists came together to share their knowledge, discuss new techniques, and improve care for patients with complex face and head conditions. During the two-day event, Dr. Taimoor delivered two powerful lectures on craniofacial surgery and cleft surgery. He emphasized the urgent need for a regional Craniofacial and Cleft Research and Training Center. Dr. Taimoor Al Bulushi has also been elected as President of the Pan Arab Plastic Surgery Association, which is a great honor to lead the plastic surgery specialty across all Arab countries.
He openly shared his rich experience, showing how to handle difficult cases and achieve the best results for children born with facial differences. His talks inspired many young surgeons in the audience. He also took an active role by chairing one of the sessions. In this position, he guided discussions and made sure everyone could exchange ideas freely. Later, he joined a panel discussion where experts talked deeply about challenging topics in the field. His clear thinking and calm approach helped make the conversations very useful for all participants.
After the meeting in Egypt ended, Dr. Taimoor’s journey continued. He was specially invited to Kuwait, where he performed surgeries and ran a craniofacial clinic to help patients directly. From there, he traveled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to take part in the first national meeting on craniofacial distraction osteogenesis in Riyadh. This technique helps grow new bone in the face and skull, giving hope to many children who need major corrections. He believes strongly that high-quality meetings, workshops, and training programs are very important.
“Such events help train the next generation of craniofacial surgeons,” he said. This is not only needed in the Middle East but across the bigger world. We must keep sharing knowledge so more doctors can give better care to kids everywhere. He is already a well-known international figure in craniofacial and cleft surgery. For many years, he has dedicated his time and energy to changing the lives of children born with craniofacial deformities. Through skillful operations, he helps these kids smile, eat, speak, and live with more confidence. His work at Khoula Hospital in Muscat has made Oman a respected name in this special field across the region.
He gives much credit for these achievements to the strong support he receives. “Our success at Khoula Hospital comes from the excellent leadership of Director General Dr Rashid Al Alawi and other high officials in the Ministry of Health, Sultanate of Oman,” Dr Taimoor explained. Their vision and backing make it possible to build advanced care and train more specialists. Dr Taimoor’s recent recognition in Egypt and his continued work in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia show how one dedicated surgeon can make a big difference. His passion continues to inspire doctors and bring hope to families who need help for their children.
