Over

Dr Alia Gaafer Kannan is an experienced Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialist with a comprehensive background in women’s health, covering pregnancy, childbirth, reproductive medicine, and the management of gynaecological disorders.
Since graduating with her MBBS in 2015, Dr Kannan has built a clinical career that spans internship training, general practice in obstetrics and gynaecology, and four years of structured residency through the Sudan Medical Specialization Board. She went on to earn her Clinical MD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2024, after which she began practising as a specialist.
Dr Kannan currently works at Elegance Medical Center in Al Ain, UAE, where she provides comprehensive antenatal and postnatal care, manages infertility and reproductive health issues, and treats a wide range of gynaecological conditions including polycystic ovarian syndrome, fibroids, menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhoea, and abnormal vaginal discharge.

She also holds surgical privileges at Midclinic Jawhara Hospital.
Before moving to the UAE, Dr Kannan worked as an Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialist at Ibn El Nafees Hospital in Sudan. Her four-year residency involved rotations across several major Sudanese hospitals, where she gained extensive hands-on experience in managing labour and delivery, performing both vaginal births and caesarean sections, conducting routine and advanced diagnostic tests, and assisting or performing major gynaecological operations. She has carried out more than 1,000 deliveries and participated actively in complex surgical cases, developing deep clinical expertise in both obstetrics and benign gynaecological surgery.
Dr Kannan also has experience managing routine and high-risk pregnancies, educating women on reproductive health and family planning, and coordinating multidisciplinary care for patients with complex needs.
She is committed to ongoing education, having completed numerous professional courses and certifications including basic and advanced life support in obstetrics, ultrasound training, fetal medicine, and updates in antenatal care. She has also passed key examinations from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG Part 1).
