(CAIR) Dr. Ousama Ghaibeh lived his life selflessly serving his community and ended his life as a hero doing the same. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, when his colleagues feared contracting the virus, Dr. Ghaibeh decided to take on their patients in addition to his own despite the fact that he was at high-risk because of his age. While caring for COVID patients, he contracted the virus himself and passed away on May 27, 2020.
Dr. Ghaibeh began his life in Syria, where he was born to a family without much in the way of financial means. However, with support from his family, Dr. Ghaibeh studied hard and graduated from medical school at the University of Damascus. After graduation, Dr. Ghaibeh came to America to do his internship at the Eastern Virginia Medical Center, accompanied by his wife, cousin, and some friends.
