Mohammed Al Mekhlafi

Adel Ahmed Omar Bamousa is a friend who is like a dear brother to me. We have been friends since 2003, when he was a second-year student at the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Aden. He was kind, respectful, helpful, and very ambitious.

We used to meet at his place in Khormaksar with our friends Lutfi Al-Beidh, his uncle Abdullah, and some other young men. We spent many good times together. After I finished my university studies in Aden and moved to Sana’a, he welcomed me into his apartment on Hail Street, where I stayed with him for two months.

I still remember some of the things that happened during that period. One day, the apartment was broken into and some valuable things were stolen, including a new digital camera that he used to take pictures of the places he visited. We had to leave the apartment that same day and move the furniture to the home of one of my relatives.

On another occasion, he came with me to my village in the northern countryside of Taiz. We left at around eight in the evening and arrived at dawn. We stayed there for three days. We enjoyed the village atmosphere, and he took pictures with my brothers and some of the people in the village, young and old, so we could remember the trip. We also walked through the valleys and climbed the mountain.

Our friendship has remained strong despite the distance and all these years, and I hope it always will. A week ago, I contacted him and asked for his permission to write this article.

After Adel finished high school in 2000, he dreamed of studying dentistry, but he had not yet decided where he would go to continue his studies.

During discussions within the family about where he should study, his paternal grandfather, may he rest in peace, suggested Yemen, either Sana’a or Aden. He felt that Yemen would be a good place for him, especially since the family’s roots were there and there were many similarities in customs and traditions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

His first visit to Yemen was with his parents. As the eldest son in the family, they wanted to see the place for themselves and make sure he would be comfortable there. Sana’a was their first destination.

They spent six days in Sana’a, walking through its streets and traditional markets, buying a few souvenirs, and trying saltah, fahsah, and other local dishes. They also visited some of the city’s historic landmarks, including Old Sana’a and Dar al-Hajar. They took trips to the villages of Bani Matar and Al-Haymah, where they enjoyed the countryside. They also visited Sana’a University and got a closer look at what studying there was like.

After that, they headed to Aden in a jeep they had rented in Sana’a. When they arrived in Aden, Adel felt very comfortable. He thought its coastal atmosphere was somewhat similar to his hometown, Dammam, and he also liked the simple and friendly nature of the people there.

During their stay in Aden, they went to Al-Aroosa Resort and spent a good time there. Adel went swimming and enjoyed himself. It was then that he decided that Aden was the right place for him.

He told his parents, and they agreed. They then began making the necessary arrangements. They rented him a comfortable place in Khormaksar with the basic services he needed, close to the Faculty of Dentistry.

Adel began studying dentistry, and the first days were not easy. He was away from his family, and studying in English required extra effort. With time, however, he began to adjust to his studies and life in Aden. He met students from different parts of the country, and they were helpful and supportive. The level of education was good, and the professors were highly qualified.

On weekends, he would usually go out with his friends to Al-Shayabat, an open area with a number of restaurants. They would have lunch there, usually zurbian, madhbi, or Hadrami-style haneeth.

After lunch, they would return to their accommodation and take a nap. Later in the afternoon, they would go back to Al-Shayabat to play billiards. Sometimes they would spend time at Al-Aroosa Resort or Elephant Bay in Tawahi, swimming until sunset.

They would also often go to the historic city of Crater, walk through its traditional markets, and, after the evening prayer, head to Seerah to eat fresh fish.

One of the things he remembers from his time in Aden is that after his family returned to Saudi Arabia, he was on his own for the first time, away from them. He had to depend on himself, achieve the goal he had come to Yemen for, and live up to his family’s expectations.

After two years of studying in Aden, in 2003, he obtained Saudi citizenship. The Saudi Cultural Mission at the Saudi Embassy in Sana’a informed him that he had become a Saudi government scholarship student and that he needed to transfer to the University of Science and Technology in Sana’a, which was recognized in Saudi Arabia. Its dentistry program was also considered one of the strongest in Yemeni universities. The good thing was that he could continue his studies from the third level.

At the same time, he was sad to leave the city he had grown to love and move to Sana’a, where he would start a new stage of his life in very different surroundings. Sana’a was a mountain city, and much colder than Aden.

As usual, he worked hard and achieved high grades. He then moved on to clinical training, where the clinics were well equipped. The lecturers were highly qualified; most of them had studied in Britain, while others had studied in the United States. During this period, he also met many colleagues and made new friends.

One of the places he loved most in Sana’a was Old Sana’a. He has always liked heritage and old and classic things. Every Friday, he would go to the Great Mosque in the heart of Old Sana’a for Friday prayers. The mosque is considered one of the oldest mosques in Islam and is traditionally associated with the early period of Islam.

The months leading up to his marriage were a good period in his life. They lasted several months, during which he prepared his home and furniture. Then came the wedding, which became one of his favorite memories.

After completing his studies and earning his bachelor’s degree, the graduation ceremony was held. He went with his classmates and professors from the department to Al-Hamra Restaurant in Hadda for lunch. Light rain was falling as they sat together in the cool Sana’a weather.

After completing the procedures to have his certificates authenticated by the Cultural Mission at the Saudi Embassy, they were honored by the embassy in the presence of the ambassador, who congratulated them and presented them with certificates of appreciation. He then returned to Saudi Arabia to begin a new stage of his life.

He completed his internship year in 2008 and submitted his documents to the Ministry of Civil Service. He was appointed as a general dentist and worked at health centers in different neighborhoods of Dammam. He spent two and a half years there as a government employee with the Ministry of Health.

In 2011, he applied to Riyadh Colleges of Dentistry and Pharmacy, now known as Riyadh Elm University, to pursue a master’s degree. He was accepted into the Pediatric Dentistry program and was given full-time study leave, with his studies funded by the Ministry of Health until 2014.

He completed his thesis at the beginning of his third year, becoming the first doctor in his class to finish several months ahead of schedule. He was then given the opportunity to present it himself at the Saudi International Dental Conference in Riyadh in 2014. It was also accepted at the AEEDC International Conference in Dubai that same year and was later published in a peer-reviewed journal.

After completing his master’s degree, he was expected to return to his previous workplace at Dammam Medical Complex. While he was completing the transfer procedures, he applied for the Saudi Board specialist training program at King Abdulaziz Hospital of the National Guard in Al-Ahsa, about 120 kilometers from Dammam.

He was accepted and continued his training there for four years. He eventually obtained the Saudi Board certification and became a consultant in pediatric dentistry.

Adel chose this specialty during his third year of dental school because it covers several areas of dentistry, including orthodontics, surgery, periodontal treatment, fillings, and prosthetics. The professor who taught the course, Dr. Ali Al-Mashhadani, an Iraqi graduate of the University of Sydney in Australia, was a very good teacher and made the subject enjoyable. This made Adel even more interested in the specialty.

Dental care starts in childhood, but working with children requires patience and attention. A dentist needs to understand a child’s behavior and know how to deal with them in the right way. Adel naturally likes children. He sees their innocence and honesty and treats them almost like his own children. Many of the children he treats have been coming to him since they were very young, and he has continued to follow their cases for years. Some have been under his care for as long as ten years.

One case that has stayed with him is that of a child with autism. His condition was very difficult, and the hospital had decided that he should undergo general anesthesia. His family was worried and refused. Adel gave them a treatment plan and explained it to them in detail. He told them that the child first needed to get used to the clinic and that they could gradually work on improving his behavior.

The boy was six years old at the time. His situation gradually improved. He started coming to the clinic and became comfortable there. He also got to know Dr. Adel and would call him by his name. Adel continued to follow his case over the years, and the boy is now 16.

Since 2022, Adel has also been working on bringing modern knowledge and technology in orthodontics to Saudi Arabia after obtaining the exclusive agency for a Korean company specializing in jaw-expansion technology. The work later expanded to include specialized workshops in several Saudi cities, in cooperation with relevant professional and scientific organizations, including the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties and the Saudi Orthodontic Society. He has also taken part in the annual orthodontic conferences held in the Kingdom.

Over four years, around 700 orthodontists from government and private sectors, as well as universities, benefited from these training programs. The work is still continuing, with the aim of reaching as many orthodontists as possible across the Kingdom.

For Adel, what matters in the end is that this knowledge reaches dentists and that patients benefit from it through better treatment options and improved ways of diagnosing and treating dental problems.

In 2025, he made scientific visits to Los Angeles and Philadelphia in the United States, and then to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August. The purpose of these visits was to learn about new developments in the field, see how others were working, and explore opportunities for scientific and technical cooperation in orthodontics in Saudi Arabia.

At the beginning of 2026, he visited Seoul, South Korea, to take part in research in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry involving an advanced technology for children in the mixed-dentition stage. The research was carried out with a team of researchers in South Korea and was later accepted for publication in a U.S. peer-reviewed journal specializing in orthodontics and jaw treatment. Adel says the experience was important for him and that he learned a lot from it, especially in research.

At the same time, he is working on setting up his own library to serve as a reference in the field. He is also preparing short and useful reels for social media so they can reach as many people as possible and provide useful information for children and their families.

He is also involved in awareness initiatives with the Ministry of Health, including an educational guide for people with special needs and videos explaining some treatments, as well as preparation and follow-up for patients who need general anesthesia.

This year, he was also a guest on Riyadh Radio, where he was invited to present a series of episodes about pediatric dentistry. The series covers different topics, including prevention and dental care at home, children with special needs, and other issues related to oral and dental health.

On Fridays, he usually spends time with his family, taking them to parks and recreational areas, and sometimes on trips to different places. On Saturdays, he enjoys cycling, covering several kilometers, which helps him clear his mind and get away from work for a while. He also enjoys traveling and photography.

Adel gives much of the credit for this journey to his parents, who encouraged and supported him throughout the different stages of his education. He also credits his wife, who has always supported him.

For him, family means security and stability. He always tries to make sure they have a comfortable life, and he hopes to see his children achieve their goals and reach the highest positions.
