President Address - Souvenir Program Dear brothers and sisters in all IMAs Historically, Sudan was one amongst 10 founder nations of FIMA in Florida, USA on 31st Dec 1981. And Sudan assumed the role as the first chairman of the FIMA Council. Since then, two FIMA Conferences have been organised in Khartoum, in 1983 and 1990. More recently, there has been a flurry of relief activities in Sudan, demonstrating the close collaboration between FIMA and SIMA. Darfur, Sudan was the epicenter of our FIMA Save Vision program which began in April 2005. Since then, FIMA has rolled out Save Vision in 7 other countries in Africa and 3 countries in Asia. Well over 400,000 patients were examined, more than 40,000 cataract surgeries were performed, sustainable ophthalmic facilities were developed and local eye surgeons were trained. This project among others, has catapulted FIMA into the “Whos Who" of international humanitarian & relief work. We are all delighted to be in Khartoum again in August 2009, for our 4th International Conference organized by SIMA and our 26th FIMA Council Meeting. The theme of our conference “HEALTH PROBLEMS IN RELATION TO DISPLACEMENT & DISASTERS" is most appropriate and timely to address the various burgeoning issues of displaced populations as a consequence of natural or man-made disasters. We hope the various scientific paper presentations and deliberations in this convention could be published as a proceeding in our FIMA Year Book for the benefit of a wider audience. Our Council meeting is yet another occasion to celebrate some of our achievements which simultaneously endows us further confidence to climb greater heights. It is also a period of reflection of our organizational operations & infrastructure, her strengths and weaknesses. And our perennial contemplation to search inwardly how much as individuals and an organization we have endeavoured to beseech the Pleasure of Allah through refinements of our human character and service towards mankind. I would like to thank SIMA for their excellent organization of this convention and their unrivalled hospitality to all our participants from IMAs around the globe. I would like to personally thank Prof. Mamoun Homeida for his distinguished leadership and all members of his Organising Committee for their hard work and dedication over the past few months. My sincere appreciation to all members of IMAs who have travelled from far and wide to attend this annual FIMA Convention and our 26th FIMA Council Meeting. On behalf of FIMA, I would like to thank our Honourable Chief Guest, the President of Sudan, Field Marshal Omer Hassan Ahmed Albasheer, for graciously inaugurating our Convention. I pray to Allah that He bestows our organisation the best of rewards and bless our annual meeting of minds and hearts. Musa Mohd. Nordin President FIMA 2005-2009

The last time we hosted the FIMA fraternity was in 2002 during our annual FIMA conference. We also meet in sad circumstances following the demise of our beloved Dr. Ahmed El-Kadi RA whose pioneering vision in 1981 gestated FIMA. May Allah SWT shower his soul with His Infinite Mercy and Forgiveness, and grant him the highest paradise in the company of the righteous. It is through the jihad and sacrifices of these noble souls that we have inherited a FIMA which is well entrenched in her mission and values. And these philosophical ideals have been translated into practical forms to emphasise our seriousness in institution building. CIMCO, the Consortium of Islamic Medical Colleges, is one such project to advance medical education, teaching, training and research and to foster collaboration between our medical colleges. It was envisioned in Islamabad in April 2004, under the leadership of our teacher, the late Prof. M. Azhar Khan RA. Some of you were present at this historical inauguration of CIMCO and I hope and pray that we would together endeavour to see to fruition this legacy of our beloved teacher. I thank our brothers in Pakistan IMA, namely Prof Najib and Prof Hafeez in Peshawar Medical College (PMC), who have voluntarily undertaken the role of CIMCO secretariat to anchor our programs and implementation of our strategic plans Prof Abdul Rashid, as co-chairperson of CIMCO and our brothers in Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS) have done a splendid job to put together a transformational program to jump start our philosophical values to practical realities. My infinite thanks to all of you, exceptionally busy scholars and professors, who have made time to share your invaluable knowhow, skills, research and experience with the FIMA fraternity. Our predecessors have displayed an "izzah" which is difficult to emulate. But I believe with total "iltizam" from all of you, we are ready to face the challenges ahead and lift CIMCO to a higher pedestal of medical scholarship. It is our shared and cherished goal to regain the leadership of the ummah in the medical sciences. Kindly accept my profound apologies for not being able to be with you and to greet you personally during this conference. Despite the threat of the pandemic swine flu, I felt it a father’s obligation to attend her daughter’s convocation in Vanderbilt, USA. I pray to Allah SWT that He bestows upon all of you the best of rewards and bless this meeting of minds and hearts. Humbly yours Dr. Musa Mohd. Nordin President FIMA 2005-2009 Assalamu Alaikum. I hope this message finds you in the best condition of health and Iman. Further to our earlier announcement for the 6th Umrah Program for Medical Stuents, we would like to announce to you the following: Till this time only 3 IMAs managed to send to us the list of participants. There was no response from other IMAs. Some people had major difficulties in getting Umrah visa. We were surprised to find that Umrah visa is closed during the planned period for our program. This was different from our understanding of the new regulation which allows for Umra during the whole year except during the Hajj season. We tried our best to rectify the matter but without avail. In view of all this situation, we decided to postpone the 6th Umrah program for 2 months (April instead of February).
I hope this gives better chance for all IMAs to nominate their participants and to send us the list in advance of time so that we can serve you conveniently. Thank you Wassalm. Dr. Atallah Al-Ruhaily Chairman of FIMSAC and supervisor of Umrah Program |
