His Excellency the UQU President, Prof. Abdullah bin Omar Bafail, congratulated Dr. Reham Al-Haratani on this outstanding achievement and scientific excellence. Equally important, such a success demonstrates the extent to which the university's scholarship students have aligned with the global level. He attributed this accomplishment first to the Allah's Help, and secondly to the unlimited support received by Umm Al-Qura University from the wise leadership represented by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz (may Allah protect them), and His Excellency the Minister of Education, Dr. Hamad Al Al-Sheikh. He highlighted their keenness to provide the UQU students with the highest and best scholarship opportunities in the finest and most prestigious international universities.

On her part, Dr. Reham Al-Haratani expressed her appreciation for the congratulations she received from His Excellency the UQU President, adding that this would give her great motivation to achieve more excellence and progress in her scientific career. She hoped that after her return to the UQU College of Dentistry, she would pass on her scientific and practical expertise in the field of scientific research, Allah willing, especially in the field of pediatric dentistry.
