Faruk Medical City — Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 45.3/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #13 of 17 ranked clinics · last checked 17 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
General private hospital in Sulaymaniyah whose own news page names a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and states his prior specialty training and current role at a separate public burns hospital in the same city. The hospital's public pages do not publish a specific elective-aesthetic procedure menu for this physician. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision or complaint-route content was found on the pages checked.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: pending, 17 September 2026 — pending; M1 is not scored while the country's specialist register is closed. Previous state not_found: 0 rows across all 64 ABHS pass lists for every spelling variant tried (substring and all-token search on the normalised corpus).

| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: hospital_staff, 17 September 2026 — The Iraqi Medical Association DMIS register stays login-gated (GET https://apidmis.ima.org.iq/api/app/doctor?MaxResultCount=1 -> HTTP 302 into the login flow), and its only anonymous endpoint is the name-blind registration-number oracle, which can never be turned into an axis value. All four secondary routes in registry-map.medical_licence.secondaryRoutes were run on 2026-09-17: ISAPS find-a-surgeon Iraq (12 members), ASPS find-a-surgeon Iraq (9 international members), the Iraqi Society of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons board CVs at iraqisras.org/cvs/ (7 CVs; the membership roll is still unpublished) and the private-hospital consultant listings. None of the routes returned a licence or syndicate number for Dr. Shakhawan Saib, and the clinic publishes no number of its own (M6 = 1), so the M3 anchor "register not machine-accessible, the clinic publishes the number" is unavailable and the cell stays closed. |

| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. Brand name only; no legal entity or registration number published by the clinic (rubric anchor 2). Register query logged: 0 rows for FARUK and CLINIC; MEDICAL returned 17 trading companies, none of them this facility.

| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Repeated unattributed superlatives across the hospital's own text. [site] Leading healthcare provider in Iraq |

What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
