On Tuesday, Egyptian Professor Hany Eteiba, who is a renowned Cardiologist based at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital, was named as the next President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.  

Eteiba served for more than 20 years at the College and he held several positions at the college including President of the Scottish Cardiac Society, Associate Medical Director of the Golden Jubilee, and Honorary Professor at the University of Glasgow.

The news came after the College’s 2023 Executive Board and Council, a new Honorary Secretary, Vice President (Medical), Vice President (Surgical) and four Ordinary and Regional Councillors were elected.

Eteiba will take his role as President-Elect for the next 12 months at the College Annual General Meeting on 1 December.

Mike McKirdy, the current president of the college, said: “On behalf of our Fellows and Members, I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to Professor Eteiba, and all our newly elected office bearers. I am very much looking forward to working with them to represent the views of almost 16,000 Fellows and Members in the UK and internationally."

Eteiba, who graduated from Al Azhar University, became the first doctor who is not a graduate of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.
