Today, Friday, the global search engine Google celebrated the Lebanese doctor, Suniya Haboub, as he changed his usual logo, to the image of the doctor, who is wearing a white petticoat, a stethoscope around her neck, and holding a patient notebook in her hands, while a group of female doctors appear in the background.

Sania Haboub is the first Lebanese doctor to leave her country to study medicine, because women were not accepted at the American University in Lebanon, so she decided to leave the country. After that, she worked for the Lebanese Red Cross.

Not only did Haboub work for the Red Cross;

Rather, she participated in the establishment of his Lebanese Association, and later became a member of the Board of Directors of the Muslim Orphanage, the Young Women's Association, in addition to Al-Makassed Hospital, where she was an inspiring figure for other women.

The Lebanese government honored Dr. Sania Haboub;

After 50 years of dedicated medical services to her country, she was awarded the Medal of Health in 1982, and a street in Beirut was called Saniya Haboub.

The Lebanese doctor was born in 1901, to a father named Mustafa Haboub, who works in the leather trade, and a mother who did not learn to read and write;

So she insisted on educating her daughter.

After fulfilling her mother's desire, she learned medicine and trained abroad;

Sunniya returned to open her clinic in Beirut, and took special care of women, providing her services free of charge to those of whom she could not afford the costs.

Sania Habibi married the Lebanese journalist Muhammad al-Naqqash, after her return to Beirut, and she had two daughters with him, before she died in 1983, at the age of 82.
