Dr. Mohamed Eisa
Gastroenterologist, AHN Allegheny Center for Digestive Health

For Dr. Mohamed Eisa, health care has no borders.

After growing up in Sudan and studying in countries around the world, the gastroenterologist says his job is about far more than caring for patients — it’s about sharing knowledge and resources with the physicians who need them most so that every person in need can receive the healing they deserve.

Eisa helped to found the Sudanese American Physicians Association, based in Texas, in January 2019 to provide emergency services, train doctors and donate supplies in the northeast African country during its many armed conflicts.

He says he is honored to serve the community that raised him by connecting it to the community of doctors in the United States, and Pittsburgh, that welcomed him.
