Abdussalam Musbahi, a prominent British urologist, has joined staff at the Brown-Darrell Clinic.

The surgeon has practised in the UK for the past 30 years, also serving as a senior consultant in Britain, Qatar and Libya.

Dr Musbahi specialises in disorders of the kidney, prostate. and the urinary tracts of men and women.

He has delivered lectures worldwide as well as publishing medical papers, and has worked extensively on the treatment of urinary stones, along with the management of urinary incontinence in women, including Botox injections.

A Libyan national, Dr Musbahi was requested by the Government of Qatar in 2008 to establish a urology department at the new Al-Ahli hospital in Doha.

His arrival on the island comes as many residents travel abroad for procedures that Dr Musbahi can perform locally, a clinic statement said — noting that his appointment came after a five-year global search.

Ewart Brown, executive chairman of the clinic, called him “a very skilful surgeon — and that is what Bermudians deserve”.

Dr Musbahi’s consultations are by referral only, and can be arranged by calling 297-3333.
