The Chatham-Kent Health Alliance is welcoming two new doctors to its team.
According to a CKHA media release, Dr. Lana Shaiba has joined the paediatrics department and Dr. Maria Andrievskaya has joined the critical care department.
“We are so pleased to welcome Drs. Shaiba and Andrievskaya to CKHA and the community of Chatham-Kent,” said CKHA Chief of Staff Dr. Pervez Faruqi. “Their skills, expertise and knowledge will make a positive impact on our delivery of safe, high-quality care.”
Dr. Lana Shaiba
After earning her medical degree in Saudi Arabia, Shaiba completed her paediatric residency at the University of British Columbia.
From there, she furthered her education by completing a fellowship in neonatology at the University of Toronto.
Dr. Shaiba has most recently been working as the head of neonatology at the King Khalid University Hospital in Saudi Arabia. Shaiba plans to become an adjunct professor at Western University to fulfill her passion for education.
Currently, Shabia's family is living in Ancaster while her husband finishes his education. She said she's thrilled to have relocated from Saudi Arabia to Chatham.
“I am looking forward to returning to paedatrics as this is my original specialty and taking on a new challenge here in Chatham-Kent. I also look forward to being closer to my family in Southwestern Ontario,” she said.
Dr. Shaiba is now accepting patient referrals and is located at the Chatham-Kent Child and Adolescent Clinic, 202 King St. West in Chatham. Her office can be reached at 519-358-1880.
