Dr. Suha Rassam (Trustee of ICIN) - A
former assistant professor of medicine at the University of Baghdad,
Rassam now lives in Surrey. A Chaldean Catholic, she grew up in Mosul, a
city in northern Iraq famed for its monasteries. She attended a primary
school run by Dominican nuns and, later, stayed with the Presentation
Sisters while studying medicine in Baghdad.
In 2003, whilst visiting Rome and discussing
Christianity in Iraq with Journalist Greg Watts, the notion of writing a
book about the subject was conceived. Dr. Rassam has pledged royalties
of her book to the Christian Education in Iraq.
