Disillusioned with the violence of the civil war, Allouch enrolled at the American University of Beirut (AUB) in premedical sciences after briefly studying Law in France.
He subsequently participated in a Transplant Surgery Fellowship at the University of Miami which he completed before returning to Lebanon and specifically Tripoli in 1993.
He ran on the Future movement ticket as part of the March 14 Alliance in the aftermath of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri’s assassination.
In the summer of 2006, Allouch radically opposed positions and actions of Hezbollah that led to the 2006 Lebanon War between the militant group and Israel.
Since then, Allouch continues to staunchly oppose Hezbollah and criticizes their close connection and allegiance to Iran.
