Giving Back and Nonprofit Efforts | OSRA Medical

Love is not a crime, and we are committed to advancing the rights of the LGBTQ community in the Middle East, with a focus on the Gulf Region.

The Mission

Dr. Nas founded OSRA Medical with one specific mission — to free his practice of back-end affiliations with payers and large corporations. Thus, he built a foundation as an independent body that will represent the LGBTQ community in the Gulf – one that’s free from the financial control of any entity.

From the moment he publicly came out as the first queer Qatari via an exclusive interview with BBC, he has since been an advocate of the LGBTQ community in the Gulf region and all around the world.
