This biography is part of a series of historical obituaries, originally published in print. As products of their time periods, some biographies contain language which is inappropriate and offensive and present biased accounts of physicians’ lives and work that do not disclose unethical and discriminatory behaviour. As an establishment organisation, the RCP, its members, and the way they are written about, have often reflected societal power structures that favour dominant groups. We aim to redress these biases through ongoing work.

Below is the biography as originally published between 2005 and 2018.

He was born in Baghdad, the son of Ahmad Abdul Rhida Saden, a dental supply manager, and Fakreyia Majeed Saden née Hussain, a housewife.
