and the brilliant biography
Amidst the operating rooms, and between the reflections of the "arteries", the intricacies of the "veins", the intricacies of the "valves" and the cries of "holes", she spent a lifetime healing hearts and treating birth defects.
She spent time drawing a smile to the families of patients, spreading hope for a "cure", and for spreading "good news" for success in "complex" operations and "difficult" cases. Her name was associated with surgery and her reputation was linked to priorities, so he was a doctor with the rank of "human" and a surgeon with the rank of "pioneer".
She is the first consultant cardiac surgeon in the Middle East and the second in the world, Dr. Howaida Al-Qathami. One of the most prominent Saudi women who can put their mark on the medical map with ability and consideration.
With a round enlightened face defined by a "modest" veil that was its first title and its best bet in all forums, and a luxurious Saudi body with preservation .. with the features of "authentic" that it drew from the tribe, a calm and balanced look topped by "listening", its "ideal" masterpieces, and charisma filled with "deep humanity" and great humility and morals A noble woman comes from her with a smile that she considers "a professional course" and a reassurance that she sees as a "medical nature", a loud voice from which white patriotic vocabulary drips with patients and their families, and deep medical phrases covered with medical terms during professional communication and practical performance. It was enlightened by the combination of skill, talent, science and learning to separate the robe of the future with a relentless production that is renewed with giving and expanding with perseverance.
In Al-Muizz Cairo, Al-Qathami was born in the confinement of a father who was an expatriate to complete his work tasks, and a noble mother used to distribute “tenderness” lavishly to supply the secrets of “the future” and openly “the motives.” Then a girl moved to her clan house in Taif, who ran among its green oases and picked from its fields. Al-Jouri ”wrote in her memoirs, her“ first biography ”, which was filled with inevitable wishes and inevitable hopes that led to an early supremacy that was a“ first glow ”and a“ perfect glow ”to discover a luxurious national project that drew the world out of the combination of“ determination ”and the“ victory ”combination.
Al-Qathami eagerly followed the news of international platforms as she celebrated innovations, heard stories of “diseases complex” and “complex surgeries,” and mourned the sight of “blue bodies” in the cradle of childhood while moaning from heart defects and inherited diseases, so she wrote her dream from the first day at the threshold of studying at the College of Medicine with a banner "Al-Yaqeen", armed with the banner of "subspecialty", captured and declared human, professional and academic, until its "name" was actually written as the first heart surgery in the Middle East, and its research was recorded as curricula in the most prestigious universities in Europe and America.
Al-Qathami studied medicine at King Abdulaziz University, then obtained the British Fellowship in Surgery from the University of Edinburgh and the Canadian Clinical Fellowship in Cardiac Surgery and Congenital Defects from the Universities of Toronto and Edmonton, and she obtained a high diploma in Investigations and Forensic Evidence from Naif University, then paved her scientific path efficiently, where she worked as a surgical specialist and a senior resident doctor Surgery at the Military Hospital in Riyadh. She was appointed as the head of the Scientific Council for the Saudi Specialty Certificate in Cardiac Surgery in the Kingdom and she held the position of the former Head of the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Prince Sultan Center for Cardiac Diseases and Surgery for the Armed Forces in Riyadh and the Assistant Director of the Center for Academic Affairs and Director of the Academic Affairs and Training Department.

She participated in more than 300 global seminars, lectures, and workshops, and more than 250 participants, as a speaker, session chairperson and head of mission in several countries, and performed thousands of complex operations.
Al-Qathami wanders between her patients carrying the portfolio of "research", the reality of "humanity", and the realism of "skill" to convert surgical complications into "facilities" with the efficiency of performance after the aid of the "helper" and to reconcile the obstacles of breathing with the aspiration of the soul towards a safe life and reassuring paths according to the principles of relief and rescue principles.
Howayda Al-Qathami .. A skilled surgeon who established a brilliant biography to dig her name in the hearts that she heals and the souls that she revived, God willing. To be the companion of premature infants, the friend of children, the savior of "adults", and one of the secrets of Saudi medical progress internationally.
