Sir Magdi Yacoub is one of the world’s most celebrated cardiac surgeons, often nicknamed “the King of Hearts.”

Specialty: Cardiothoracic surgery (heart and lung surgery)

He was knighted in the UK in 1992, which is why he carries the title “Sir.”

Many people admire him not just for medical excellence, but because he used his skills to serve people who otherwise couldn’t afford treatment.

Beyond surgery, his humanitarian work is equally remarkable. We proud to have him speak on the confrence.
