Dr. Mohamad Ahmadi

- Former telehealth founder in Canada

Led by someone who understands both sides
Dr. Mohamad Ahmadi is a health-technology leader and former telehealth founder in Canada with deep personal relationships across Iran's medical community. He built Hemrah so that Iraqi patients would never have to navigate a foreign health system alone — and would always reach the right doctor, not just any doctor.
“An Iraqi patient should reach the same senior specialist an Iranian doctor would send their own family to — quickly, affordably, and with dignity.”Read Dr. Ahmadi's story →
Your family's peace of mind is our real job
Treatment is only part of the journey. From the moment you land, your family has a home near the hospital, halal meals, private transport, and an Arabic-speaking companion for every step. Nobody is left waiting alone in a corridor. That is our promise.
