Who we are
We are
a non-political, non-religious and non-for-profit professional organization uniting physicians from Arab origin involved in the field of cellular therapy and blood and marrow transplantation
Our mission
is to foster and promote social, cultural and scientific collaboration among members
Our vision
is inspired by Gibran Kahlil Gibran’s poem "I believe in you." We seek to leverage our inherited values for the good of medicine and humanity. We also thrive to establish cooperation with healthcare professionals and institutions in our home countries for the benefit of our people
It is to stand before the towers of New York and Washington, Chicago and San Francisco saying in your hearts, "I am the descendent of a people that builded Damascus and Byblos, and Tyre and Sidon and Antioch, and I am here to build with you, and with will."
Gibran Kahlil Gibran
