Dr. IMAN ALMASHHARAWI consultant pediatric otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon at Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My work focuses on the full spectrum of pediatric otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, including congenital craniofacial and neck malformations, genetic and syndromic head and neck anomalies, complex pediatric airway disorders, and pediatric hearing loss. I am actively involved in developing and leading neonatal hearing screening and pediatric cochlear implantation programs, with a particular interest in infants and children with profound sensorineural hearing loss. My current projects integrate clinical care, genetics, and medical education, and I am especially interested in improving access to advanced hearing rehabilitation for children living in low‑resource and conflict‑affected settings.
