Al Amiri bags Arab award
DUBAI — Dr Amin bin Hussain Al Amiri, Director of the Blood Transfusion and Research Services of the Ministry of Health, has won the Arab Award for Blood Transfusion services. The Award is a recognition of his efforts to support blood transfusion programmes and health diagnostic services.
Directors of blood transfusion in the Arab countries met from January 30 to February 2 at the Arab League office in Cairo and took their decision based on criteria prepared by the Arab Health Ministers Council.
This award is given once every two years to those who have made great efforts in their countries as well as on the Arab level.
On this occasion, Dr Al Amiri expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah who he believes was behind this grace.
He also expressed his appreciation to all who have recognised his efforts. He said that winning awards increases the feeling of responsibility towards serving the humanity as much as possible.
"The initiation of awards is necessary to encourage those who work in the health field to help improve this vital sector that cares about the lives of people," he noted.
Dr Al Amiri has prepared the first law in the field of blood transfusion in the UAE in 1995.
"The draft law is with the ministry's legal consultant for final formation. The draft will be submitted to the Cabinet after finishing its legal formation," he said.
Another achievement on the country's level was the production of artificial blood which is needed for the control of medical equipment.
The UAE was the first in the region that produced artificial blood since five years.
He said that he produced artificial blood from a combination of human and chicken blood that is needed to operate blood transfusion equipment and to control these machines before operating them.
Dr Al Amiri has supported blood transfusion programmes on the local, Gulf and Arab levels as well. He has initiated the Gulf Committee for blood transfusion services in 1996 and was its chairman for nine years. He also restructured the Arab Oraganisation for Blood Transfusion in 2001 and was its chairman for four years and a half.
Dr Al Amiri, 43-year old, is a holder of a doctorate degree and a masters from the Medicine Faculty in Aberdeen in Scotland Health Science, specialised in blood diseases and blood safety.
He has received a number of local and international awards, the most recent being the Gulf Award for Blood Transfusion.
