For Dr Rania Fayoumi, building a medical career in Kuwait meant much more than starting a new job. It marked the end of two years of uncertainty and the start of a safer, more stable life for her and her family.
With support from Alert, she was able to keep working towards her goal, even during the most difficult moments of her recruitment and relocation journey.
My name is Dr Rania Fayoumi. I am an Obstetrics and Gynaecology Consultant and a mother. I completed my medical degree and residency at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, also known as AUBMC.
Caring for women during important moments in their lives has always been one of my greatest passions. Throughout my career, I have worked at hospitals in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. These roles gave me experience in women’s health, patient care, complex deliveries, surgery and high-risk pregnancies.
Since September 2026, I have been working at a hospital in Kuwait. I am grateful to continue doing the work I love in a supportive professional environment.
I first connected with Alert International during an extremely difficult period in my life. At the time, I was living in Lebanon during the war. I was looking for a safe and stable place where I could continue working as a doctor and care for my family.
From our first conversation, the team at Alert International made me feel supported. They looked beyond my medical CV and saw the person and mother behind it. I was facing a crisis and needed a fresh start for my family. Their understanding made me feel that I was not facing this challenge alone.
Due to the ongoing conflict and events beyond our control, the paperwork and relocation process took two long and difficult years.
There were also moments of hope along the way. I was able to secure the required documents, complete the necessary steps and finally receive official confirmation that I could start my new position in Kuwait. After two years of delays and uncertainty, I reached a breaking point. I felt exhausted by the process and the difficult situation around me. At one stage, I wanted to give up. The Alert International team encouraged me to keep going and guided me through each step until we reached our goal.
Having someone by my side during a time of war meant more than I can express. Ms Veronica, in particular, continued to believe in me when I had lost hope. Her care and encouragement helped me get through the process.
“Alert International did not simply see my medical CV. They saw the person and mother behind it, and they continued to believe in me even when I had lost hope.”
Starting my new position in Kuwait felt like joining a family. My colleagues welcomed me from the start. The well-equipped workplace and supportive team have also helped me find peace of mind again.
Now, I can focus fully on giving my patients the care they deserve. One of my proudest moments came shortly after I arrived in Kuwait, when I delivered a healthy baby. After two years of uncertainty and struggle, I was back in the delivery room. Placing a newborn in her smiling mother’s arms reminded me why I chose this profession. In that moment, I knew I was where I belonged.
My journey was long and difficult, but I am glad I did not give up. With the right support, you can keep moving forward, even when the way ahead is unclear. Today, I can continue my medical career in a safe and supportive environment. I can care for my family while doing the work I love.
I will always be grateful to Alert, especially Ms Veronica, for supporting me throughout this journey.
