Saudi Gazette report



MAKKAH – Dr. Reham Isa Al-Haratani, a female scholarship student from Umm Al-Qura University, has obtained her master’s degree in pediatric dentistry with first class honors from King’s College London for her thesis titled “Children’s behavior when they wake up from dental operations under general anesthesia.”



President of Umm Al-Qura University Bakri Ma’touq Assas congratulated Al-Haratani in the presence of Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry Dr. Mohammed Mustafa Beyari.



In a telephone call he made from his office at the university, Assas praised her academic achievement and said it shows the level reached by female Saudi students in general and Umm Al-Qura students in particular.



He prayed for Al-Haratani’s success in her pursuit of knowledge and said her return was eagerly awaited so she can serve her religion, the king, country, society and the university. He also lauded the care and attention the government of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah provides to both male and female students.



Beyari said Al-Haratani is the best example for female students in the faculty. He said her master’s thesis has received a lot of attention from the Society of Pediatric Dentistry in the United Kingdom. It was presented by Al-Haratani at the annual conference of the society.



“Dr. Al-Haratani has exerted a lot of efforts and proven herself. Her hard work has led to her being appointed a basic member in a clinical experiment in the field of general anesthesia for the treatment of children’s teeth under the auspices of the National Institution for Health and Scientific Research in the UK.”



Beyari added that the faculty has a strong base of distinctive staff comprising over 60 male and female demonstrators who were appointed during the past three years.
