He has special expertise in managing people with multiple sclerosis, Neuro-Behcet’s disease and related conditions.

Dr Al-Araji studied medicine at the University of Baghdad, graduating in 1977. He pursued post-graduate training in both Iraq and the UK, becoming a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1986.
