Dr. Fatima Bouzid

Dr. Fatima Bouzid is a consultant gynecologist and obstetrician at CHU Beni Messous, a major university hospital in the western suburbs of Algiers. With 16 years of clinical practice, she has built a reputation for her expertise in both high-risk obstetrics and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, serving a large patient population across the Algiers metropolitan area.

Originally from Oran, Dr. Bouzid trained at the Université d'Oran before moving to Algiers to complete her specialization. She joined CHU Beni Messous shortly after obtaining her DES in Gynécologie-Obstétrique and has remained at the institution where she now holds a senior consultant position. Her bilingual practice in Arabic and French allows her to communicate naturally with patients from across Algeria's diverse linguistic landscape.

Dr. Bouzid is known for her patient-centered approach to women's health, combining strong technical skills in operative laparoscopy and obstetric management with a commitment to thorough patient education. She is an active member of the Société Algérienne de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique and contributes to national guidelines on maternal health and obstetric care.

Dr. Bouzid completed her medical degree at the Faculty of Medicine, Université d'Oran, one of Algeria's leading regional medical schools. Following her internship, she trained for her DES (Diplôme d'Études Spécialisées) in Gynécologie-Obstétrique, gaining extensive experience in both normal and complicated deliveries, operative obstetrics, and gynecological surgery.

Her training included rotations at CHU Oran and later at CHU Beni Messous in Algiers, where she developed her laparoscopic surgical skills under senior mentors. She has since participated in hands-on laparoscopic surgery workshops organized through French-Algerian medical cooperation programs, keeping her technical skills aligned with international standards.

Dr. Bouzid's practice covers the full breadth of obstetrics and gynecology, with particular depth in two areas: the management of high-risk pregnancies and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. In obstetrics, she manages complex cases including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, multiple pregnancies, and fetal growth restriction, working closely with neonatology teams at CHU Beni Messous.

In gynecologic surgery, she performs laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, and hysterectomy, as well as hysteroscopic procedures for uterine polyps, submucosal fibroids, and intrauterine adhesions. She also conducts prenatal diagnosis consultations including detailed anomaly scans and counseling for chromosomal abnormalities. Cervical screening with colposcopy and loop excision of cervical lesions is another area of regular practice.

Dr. Bouzid has contributed to research on maternal health outcomes in Algeria, including studies on preeclampsia incidence and management in the Algerian public hospital setting. She has authored papers in French-language obstetric and gynecology journals examining the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis among Algerian women, and the impact of delayed diagnosis on fertility. She participates in the national perinatal health surveillance network coordinated by the Algerian Ministry of Health.

Dr. Bouzid consults in Arabic and French. CHU Beni Messous receives patients from across Algeria and occasionally from neighboring Maghreb countries for complex obstetric and gynecologic cases. Algerian diaspora women living in France or other French-speaking countries sometimes return to Algeria for gynecological consultations or elective procedures, and Dr. Bouzid's practice is well suited to receive them.

Pre-visit video consultations in French or Arabic can be arranged for diaspora patients wishing to understand their diagnosis and treatment options before travelling. Patients are encouraged to bring all previous imaging, lab results, and surgical reports to facilitate efficient evaluation.

Dr. Bouzid has been recognized by CHU Beni Messous for her consistent clinical performance and commitment to obstetric safety standards. She received a commendation from the Société Algérienne de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique for her contributions to maternal health advocacy and continuing medical education for junior gynecologists. She has served as a speaker at national obstetric care workshops focusing on reducing maternal mortality through improved management of high-risk pregnancies.
