Dr. Rania Khoury Nassar

Dr. Rania Khoury Nassar is a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) — one of the Middle East's most prestigious academic hospitals and consistently ranked among the region's leading healthcare facilities. With over 15 years of clinical experience, she has developed expertise in high-risk obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine, managing pregnancies complicated by medical conditions, foetal anomalies, multiple gestations, and preterm labour. Lebanon has a historically strong medical education system, with AUBMC training physicians to internationally recognised standards. Dr. Khoury Nassar's trilingual capability (Arabic, French, English) enables her to serve the diverse patient population of Lebanon and the broader Arab world. Her philosophy is to provide compassionate, evidence-based obstetric and gynaecological care that balances clinical excellence with patient-centred communication.

Dr. Khoury Nassar completed her medical degree (MD) and OB/GYN specialist training through the American University of Beirut's Faculty of Medicine — a programme structured along US academic medical standards and internationally recognised. She subsequently completed a fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM), developing advanced expertise in high-risk obstetrics, foetal diagnosis, and prenatal intervention. She holds membership in the Lebanese Order of Physicians and the Lebanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (LSOG). She is an International Member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

Dr. Khoury Nassar's clinical expertise spans both high-risk obstetrics and minimally invasive gynaecological surgery. In obstetrics, she manages pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, multiple gestation, foetal growth restriction, preterm labour, and pregnancies complicated by chronic medical conditions. She performs amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) for prenatal diagnosis and detailed foetal anomaly ultrasound. In gynaecology, she performs laparoscopic surgery for fibroids (myomectomy), endometriosis, and hysterectomy, as well as hysteroscopy for uterine pathology. She manages PCOS, infertility workup, and recurrent miscarriage investigation.

AUBMC has historically been a regional referral centre for the Arab world, attracting patients from across the Middle East, West Africa, and the Arab diaspora. Dr. Khoury Nassar's trilingual consultation capability (Arabic, French, English) and AUBMC's internationally aligned standards make her highly accessible to regional international patients. She offers video consultations for patients seeking remote assessment or second opinions on obstetric and gynaecological conditions. Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport connects Lebanon to the Arab world, Europe, and beyond. International patients are advised to verify all credentials with the Lebanese Order of Physicians independently and to enquire about the hospital's current operational status given Lebanon's evolving circumstances.

Dr. Khoury Nassar participates actively in the Lebanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (LSOG) and has presented at regional Arab obstetrics and gynaecology conferences. She contributes to medical education at AUB's Faculty of Medicine, supervising obstetrics residents and medical students. She has attended Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) annual meetings and participates in continuing medical education to maintain her high-risk obstetrics and MFM skills. She is committed to raising standards of obstetric care in Lebanon and the region, particularly in high-risk pregnancy management.
