Medical writing that survives review.
I'm Youssef Fahmy, a physician in anesthesiology and intensive care. I write and review medical content for pharma companies, medical communications agencies and researchers, with every claim traced back to its reference.

About
A physician who writes.
A writer who reads the trial.
I graduated in medicine with distinction and honors from South Valley University and now train in anesthesiology and intensive care at Qena University Hospitals. I have been writing since 2021: first as a freelance medical writer, editor and translator, then full time at Marvel Medical Scientific Solutions, where I wrote promotional content for the Saudi market and reviewed it in Veeva Vault.
That mix is the point. I know what a busy clinician will accept from a slide, and I know what a reviewer will send back. I write for both.

Services
What I can take off your desk
Most claims that get sent back are not wrong. They are stronger than the evidence. I write to the evidence from the first draft.
Medical review and claim checking
A physician's pass on your draft: population, endpoint, effect size and balance, checked against the source. Comfortable inside Veeva Vault review workflows.
Systematic reviews and meta-analysis
Search strategy, screening, critical appraisal and pooled analysis in SPSS or R, written up for publication or for an internal evidence summary.
Medical education and e-learning
Continuing medical education (CME) lectures and SCORM-ready e-learning modules, referenced and aligned with current guidelines.
Manuscripts and research protocols
Protocols, manuscripts, abstracts and posters, drafted or edited for clarity, structure and journal style.
Medical translation and public health content
English to Arabic medical translation with consistent terminology, and Arabic health-awareness content written for the public.

Reviews
What clients say
From my LinkedIn recommendations and direct client messages.
Highly recommend, very professional, always finish tasks on time and well presented data.
Perfect organized work with rapid response and nice communication.
Yousef is one of the most reliable translators I worked with. Very helpful and punctual. He is one of the best recommendations I received and it was a fruitful collaboration.
Thank you so much for your work, Youssef. You reviewed it for me in record time, your work is accurate, and I recommend that anyone work with you.
A great experience with Dr. Youssef. He is one of the most committed people when it comes to delivering work in the best possible form, with strong scientific content. Even better, he kept to the deadline although I came to him at a very tight time.
Your work is excellent, and the effort and attention to detail are clear.
Questions
Before you send a brief
What do you need from me to start?
A short brief: the audience, the market, the format, the deadline, and the references or product label you want the content built on. If you do not have references yet, I can run the literature search first.
Can you work inside our review process?
Yes. I have reviewed, edited and quality-checked content in Veeva Vault, and I write with medical, legal and regulatory review in mind, so claims arrive referenced and worded to match the source.
Which languages and markets do you cover?
I write promotional and scientific content in English. In Arabic, I write public health-awareness content and translate medical text from English. Most of my market experience is in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf, and I also work with clients in Egypt, Europe and the United States.
How do you handle confidential material?
I sign a non-disclosure agreement when you need one, and client work never appears in my samples. The examples on this page are my own writing or teaching pieces built on fictional products and data.
