Dr Muhammad Tahir is a British-Iraqi orthopedic and peripheral nerve surgeon who achieved global recognition for his extraordinary humanitarian service in Gaza. Dr Tahir left his practice to serve as a volunteer surgeon during the severe healthcare crisis, completing multiple extended medical missions with the FAJR Scientific Foundation. Operating under continuous bombardment and catastrophic medical shortages, he performed over 290 complex life-saving surgeries and treated more than 1,100 injured Palestinians, at times operating for 36 hours straight. He became a symbol of international medical solidarity and his harrowing seven-month journey bearing witness to the frontlines of the collapsing medical system is the subject of the critically acclaimed documentary ‘The Mission’.
