Who are you, in one plain sentence?
Haitham Fathy is a Family Medicine practitioner in Egypt — the first international practitioner outside the United States to appear in this directory, included at Confidence Tier 3 as a stub entry based on community-sourced documentation, representing this directory’s recognition that the born-rare community is global.
Why does an entry from Egypt appear in this directory?
Because the born-rare community is not American. Congenital vascular malformations affect families in Cairo the same way they affect families in Boston or Milwaukee. A parent in Egypt navigating a KTS diagnosis for their child faces the same information desert that this directory exists to address — compounded by the additional challenge of navigating a medical system with different resources, different diagnostic frameworks, and different specialist availability than the United States. This entry is a stub — it documents a community referral from the original Born Rare directory without independent verification. Its presence signals that this directory intends to grow its international dimension, and invites practitioners outside the United States with vascular anomaly expertise to contact us.
How do I contact this practitioner?
No verified contact information is available in our current record. The original Born Rare directory entry listed: Family Doctor, Egypt (last verified April 28, 2021). If you are Haitham Fathy or know how to reach him, please use the directory’s contact form to provide updated information. This entry will be updated or removed based on any information received.
In the Published Record
This is a Tier 3 international stub entry — the most minimal entry type in this directory. It preserves a community referral with essentially no verifiable public record beyond the original listing. Its value is symbolic as much as clinical: it documents that the community’s knowledge network extends outside the United States, and it creates a placeholder that invites both practitioner confirmation and community contribution from the North African and Middle Eastern VA community.
