Dr. Ibrahim Saah passed away peacefully at home on September 3, 2023. Ibrahim lived as an uplifting, kind, innovative, hilarious and generous man. He had an innate curiosity and compassion for others, matched only by his sense of humor and unique approach to life.
Born in Ramallah, Palestine and educated in Spain, Ibrahim dedicated his career as a physician to helping others by way of cardiology and internal medicine. For 43 years, he practiced in Mountain View, California under the Cardiovascular Institute in which he co-founded in affiliation with El Camino Hospital. Ibrahim cared greatly for his patients and was a phenomenal care provider and friend to many.
Living in California and traveling the world, Ibrahim shared and created a lifetime of happy memories alongside his wife, Widad Saah, their two daughters, Shadin and Daleen, son-in-law Marwan Freij and 3 grandchildren Ziyad, Mazen, and Nizar. Ibrahim was known for being an intelligent, kind, and compassionate member of our community. Whether growing his amazing garden, traveling, or spending time with his extended family, Ibrahim brought life to the people and places whose paths he crossed. We cherish our memories with Ibrahim, we love and miss him dearly. May he rest in eternal peace.
The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.
The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
