Dr. Hassan Al Jubouri

Dr. Hassan Al Jubouri is a senior consultant physician in the Department of Internal Medicine at Medical City Teaching Hospital in Baghdad — the largest and most comprehensive hospital complex in Iraq, associated with the University of Baghdad College of Medicine. With 20 years of practice, Dr. Al Jubouri has provided steadfast internal medicine care to Baghdad's population through periods of significant instability and healthcare system disruption, demonstrating resilience and a commitment to his patients that is characteristic of Iraq's dedicated medical community.

His clinical work addresses the most prevalent chronic non-communicable diseases in Iraq: type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular risk factor management. Iraq carries a substantial diabetes burden, and Dr. Al Jubouri's diabetes clinic provides structured management combining dietary counseling, pharmacotherapy optimization, and complication monitoring — including diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy screening — within the constraints of the public healthcare setting.

Beyond chronic disease, Dr. Al Jubouri manages the spectrum of acute and subacute presentations that constitute general internal medicine: pneumonia and respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, acute kidney injury, and gastrointestinal illness. He is experienced with presentations of infectious disease that are common in the Iraqi context, including brucellosis, typhoid, and visceral leishmaniasis.

He is committed to training the next generation of Iraqi physicians and serves as a clinical tutor at the University of Baghdad College of Medicine. He communicates in Arabic and English.

Dr. Al Jubouri obtained his MBChB from the University of Baghdad College of Medicine and completed Internal Medicine residency at Medical City Teaching Hospital. He completed the MRCP (Member of the Royal College of Physicians) examination and undertook post-fellowship training in Diabetes Management at the Jordan University Hospital in Amman. He holds a Diploma in Medicine (DM) and is registered with the Iraqi Medical Association and the Iraqi Board for Medical Specializations in Internal Medicine.

Dr. Al Jubouri's internal medicine practice covers the breadth of adult general medicine. In diabetes, he manages type 1 and type 2 diabetes with oral agents, injectable GLP-1 agonists where available, and insulin regimens, with regular monitoring for end-organ complications. In hypertension and cardiovascular risk, he prescribes evidence-based antihypertensive regimens and coordinates statin therapy and aspirin in high-risk patients. He manages chronic kidney disease through careful medication review, blood pressure optimization, and coordination with nephrology. His infectious disease work includes workup and treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, enteric fever, brucellosis, and urinary tract infections. He performs diagnostic procedures including lumbar puncture, paracentesis, thoracentesis, and nasogastric tube insertion.

Dr. Al Jubouri has contributed to clinical research published in the Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences and the Iraqi Postgraduate Medical Journal on diabetes prevalence, hypertension management, and infectious disease patterns in Baghdad. He participates in quality improvement initiatives at Medical City Teaching Hospital and collaborates with the Iraqi Society of Internal Medicine on clinical guidelines development. Given the challenging context of academic medicine in Iraq, his research contributions reflect pragmatic clinical inquiry relevant to the Iraqi healthcare setting.

Medical City Teaching Hospital serves patients from across Iraq and occasionally from neighboring areas. Dr. Al Jubouri consults primarily in Arabic but is conversational in English. He offers video consultations for follow-up of chronic disease patients who cannot attend in person, and for Iraqi diaspora patients seeking a physician who understands the local disease context and can provide culturally appropriate advice. He is experienced managing patients who have been displaced within Iraq and require continuity of chronic disease management.

Dr. Al Jubouri has been recognized by the Iraqi Medical Association for his continuous service during periods of national crisis. He has received commendations from Medical City Teaching Hospital for his clinical teaching contributions and serves on the Iraqi Society of Internal Medicine committee for diabetes education.
