About Dr Ahmed
About Dr Ahmed Dr. Ahmed Maklad is a Doctor of Medicine (MUDr.) graduated in General Medicine from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine in Brno — one of Europe's most internationally recognised medical schools — with clinical experience spanning surgery, internal medicine, geriatrics, paediatrics, and primary care across the Czech Republic and Egypt. Before joining Global Health Ireland, Dr. Maklad worked as a General Practitioner at Ghouraba GP Clinic in Cairo, where he provided ongoing care for patients with chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory disease. Managing complex, long-term patients in a high-demand environment gave him something that hospital training alone rarely does — the ability to listen carefully, explain clearly, and build a clinical picture from a conversation rather than a full investigation panel. He is currently undertaking his Surgical Residency at University Hospital Brno, one of the Czech Republic's leading tertiary hospitals, where he works across emergency and elective surgical procedures, trauma management, perioperative care, and acute surgical assessment. That surgical background sharpens his diagnostic thinking in primary care — he knows when something can be safely managed online, and when it needs to be escalated without delay. As an online doctor with Global Health Ireland, Dr. Maklad brings that combination of GP continuity and surgical acuity to every video consultation. He joined the platform because he believes that access to a qualified, attentive doctor should not depend on where you live, what language you speak, or how long you can wait. What he treats: • Acute illness — respiratory infections, fever, flu, sore throat, ear infections • Urinary tract infections and urinary symptoms • Chronic disease management — hypertension, diabetes, asthma, reflux, high cholesterol • Dermatological concerns — rashes, eczema, allergic skin reactions, mild infections • Geriatric queries and care for patients with complex or multiple conditions • Cardiovascular queries — chest symptoms, blood pressure management, palpitations • Preventive care — health assessments, lifestyle counselling, screening referrals • Mental health — anxiety, depression, stress management and specialist referral • Medical certificates and referrals for blood tests, imaging, or specialist review • Acute queries about existing conditions or current medication His approach: Every consultation with Dr. Maklad is personalised, evidence-based, and delivered with the clinical standard you would expect from an in-person appointment. He takes time to understand the full picture, explains findings clearly in plain language, and ensures you leave with a concrete plan — not just reassurance. Languages: English · Arabic · Czech

What makes Dr Maklad's background distinctive for a GP?
Dr Maklad combines two types of clinical experience that rarely coexist in online GP practice. First, GP continuity experience — having worked as a General Practitioner at Ghouraba GP Clinic in Cairo managing complex chronic patients in a high-demand environment, he developed the ability to build a clinical picture from a conversation rather than a full investigation panel. Second, surgical acuity — his Surgical Residency at University Hospital Brno sharpens his diagnostic thinking in primary care. As he puts it himself: he knows when something can be safely managed online, and when it needs to be escalated without delay. That combination of GP depth and surgical awareness is what makes him particularly effective in telemedicine.
What languages does Dr Maklad consult in?
Dr Maklad consults in English, Arabic and Czech — giving patients from Arabic-speaking communities in Ireland and Czech-speaking patients across the Global Health network access to a fully IMC-registered GP in their first language. His Arabic fluency is particularly valuable for Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, Sudanese and other Arabic-speaking patients who want to discuss health concerns in their first language with a doctor who shares their cultural and clinical context.
