Dr. Nawal Al-Alem is a consultant in dermatology and an expert on skin and hair beauty, with a remarkable career and experience spanning over 30 years in body needs, functional nutrition, and diet plans.
Dr Nawal has worked at Hamad Medical Corporation where she trained with renowned international physicians and was mentored by US consultant Dr William George from Miami, FL as well as professors from Egypt.
She launched her private clinic in 1994, becoming the first female dermatologist in Qatar. Given the lack of natural medical products on the market back then, and in an effort to bring in the best natural and non-chemical medical products, Dr Nawal founded the Health and Beauty Pharmacy and obtained international commercial agency of several well-known products. Benefiting from her 30-year experience in nutrition, Dr Nawal launched Ideal Diet in 2004, which specializes in natural, whole, and organic products. Ideal Diet was the first center of its kind at the time, providing monthly membership plans, and it currently includes a restaurant where food is freshly prepared in front of the customer, and a healthy café.
Dr Nawal later founded the Health and Beauty Group as an overarching entity grouping the pharmacy, clinic and Ideal Diet.
Dr Nawal is the recipient of various local and regional awards for her distinguished work on various successful health projects and services.
Dr Nawal founded an integrated medical complex with all three entities and became in 2010 the owner and Medical Director at Tadawi Medical Center, which offers medical care in almost all disciplines. Physicians from all over the world were hired in an effort to provide the best level of healthcare.
In addition to in-person consultations in her clinic, Dr Nawal offers consultation and services remotely using virtual platforms such as Zoom and is currently sharing her expertise in dermatology and nutrition virtually.
Dr Nawal also provides training in a variety of disciplines such as health and nutrition, in addition to consultation and specialized training on business and project management. She received an honorary award for distinguished entrepreneurship for the GCC in 2009 for the best project in the State of Qatar, as the Health and Beauty Group was nominated by the Ministry of Labor as a pillar of healthcare in the State of Qatar. Moreover, she received the Qatar Businesswomen Award in 2008.
Dr Nawal developed the 24 hours of happiness system for happiness and disease prevention, Dr Nawal’s System for Health and Beauty, and Dr Nawal’s Diamond for Entrepreneurship and Project Development.
A talented author and poet, Dr Nawal wrote several books using a unique narrative style, employing imagination and roleplay, and using visual aids and infographics to best convey information to the reader.
She hosted a weekly health segment on Qatar TV and penned a wealth of books and training materials for children and adults. Dr Nawal is an international trainer, offering courses on health, healthy cooking, project management and the joy of raising children and providing them with the best nutrition and promoting their mental health, and for that she has tapped into her vast experience as a mother of three highly successful individuals.
Dr Nawal has also launched several initiatives and programs as part of her health and awareness raising project on social media. She shared a variety of recipes during the Holy month of Ramadan, as well as awareness videos on the role of mothers in child nutrition and series of nutrition related videos, all available on her channel on YouTube, in addition to her work on the medical comedy “Bayt al Daa”.
A word from Dr. Nawal to patients:
I promised myself to take responsibility to not only treat patients, but to also guide them to restore their health and keep disease at bay by choosing their own ideal food. I have strived to do so by sharing knowledge on how to select ideal food, follow a healthy lifestyle and spend their days in happiness using the detailed 24- hour account. I focused on nutrition, exercise, hydration, good sleep, and stress reduction techniques to achieve the balance between beauty and health and highlight the importance of knowledge and awareness to enjoy clear skin, healthy hair, and lean body.
A word from Dr. Nawal:
I promised to treat the body organs like an open book, so that we can better understand them and identify their needs, for this is the way to enhance immunity, prevent disease, and reap the benefits of health and beauty. This is my vocation in life, and by the will of God I have remained true to it and conveyed it to all.
