Dr. Khalid Eddahiri, upper left of this photo and Humanitarian Health Con<\/a>ference<\/a> participant,\u00a0describes his job as \u201cServing the people who serve the world\u201d.\u00a0 Since 2008, Dr. Eddahiri leads the United Nations as the Medical Desk Officer for UN Agencies, Funds and Programs. He worked primarily in West and East Africa providing support to 43 field clinics, 10 UN Peacekeeping clinics, and over 700 individual healthcare workers – as well as playing an integral role in aiding the UN\u2019s response to the Ebola crisis.\u00a0 In 2012, Dr. Eddahiri became the Chief Medical Officer for the UN Nations Mission to Libya during the aftermath of the NATO campaign.\u00a0 Dr. Khalid Eddahiri already had extensive experience serving the medical needs of\u00a0 impoverished communities but assessed that INMED\u2019s Professional Certificate<\/a> would add knowledge that would benefit his passion in bringing quality health care to at-risk populations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During his time at an INMED Training Site<\/a> in war-torn Yemen, Dr. Eddahiri provided key insight into the operations and management of the clinic and improved the Mass Casualty and Medical Evacuation Plan – all while creating an extensive gap analysis and health support plan. Dr. Eddahiri also treated patients daily and offered second opinions on complex cases presented to the training site. In Yemen it also came to Dr. Eddahiri\u2019s attention that there were no female physicians serving. Dr. Eddahiri was passionate that the clinic must strive to add female staff and stated, \u201cThe most important requirement,\u201d he says, \u201cis communication and cultural awareness. We cannot in 2020 deploy a full clinic in a Muslim country composed with males only. That is not acceptable and offending.\u201d After bringing this to the attention of the staff, the clinic became committed to better female representation and the issue was corrected by hiring a woman as the Chief of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Dr. Eddahiri will be taking part in the Humanitarian Health Conference<\/a> on June 11-12. Please join us, virtually or in-person, and sample his passion to bringing justice to persecuted medical professionals who often face death and destruction by choosing to serve impoverished and war-torn communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
