Dr. Manal Fahham’s family comes from a line of Doctors and Engineers. Her paternal and maternal grandfathers were Doctors, while her father and brother are engineers. Growing up in Damascus, she began displaying responsibility at a very young age. Thus, it has become her habit to multitask while taking care of her siblings, doing chores and studying. She is known by peers with her positive and upbeat personality, especially her sense of leadership, patience, perseverance, and a proactive team playing spirit.

After completing her university degree, Dr. Manal married Omar Kanawati, an economist and businessman. He has many talents, both artistic and sporting. His practical experience with her human experience met a unique intellectual encounter and a constant dialogue. She moved with her husband to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Initially, she worked at Al-Shatiee Hospital as a volunteer Doctor, but a few months later, she was promoted as a Full-time Neurologist at Dr. Erfan & Bagedo Hospital, and King Fahad Specialty Hospital. From there, her journey began, lasting over 20 years.
