Dr. Dowaa Saleh

The work is led by Dr. Dowaa Saleh, a health communication strategist with clinical training in dentistry, a Master’s in Communication focused on health communication from the University of Ottawa, and more than a decade of experience across healthcare, research, nonprofit and global health environments.
