About Us

Arameans In Medicine (AIM) stands for peace and unity, will work for Arameans worldwide and welcomes you to join this organisation, whether you're in the medical field or not.

Let's dive into the meaning of the name Arameans In Medicine and what issues precursed the startup of the organisation. "Medicine" is defined as the science of health and healing. The World Health Organisation defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Collaboration and cooperation among various actors, organizations, and levels are crucial aspects that run through the entire healthcare system.

The "Arameans" are indigenous people of The Middle East (Mesopotamia), mentioned since over 3000 years ago and the biggest semitic ethnic group ever existed.

Today Arameans are dispersed in a global diaspora due to centuries of persecution in their homeland, and due to the world map drawing excluding Arameans from the right to their own lands, which they still inhabit until today.

The organisation welcomes everyone in the community outside of the medical and health care industry to become a benefitting member and supporter, no matter occupation.

Faith, heritage and vocation (Symbolism)

What is the meaning behind the logo?

There are three main features on the logo; The Cross, The eagle and the snakes surrounding a staff.

The Cross symbolizes the christian mission and morals that lay the foundation for this organization as well as the religion of the members of the target audience.

The eagle is an ancient symbol for strength and drive, found in various Aramean sites during different epochs in Mesopotamia.

The snakes surrounding the staff is taken from the universal logo of medicine which is thought to originate from the Greek god of healing Aesculapius.

The Need

By Chairman Dr. Aramia Sauma

Our community faces exclusion as a minority group both in the diaspora and homeland, posing challenges in accessing timely and appropriate care.

In the diaspora, crucial public health advice often pass by our community unnoticed due to linguistic, cultural and socioeconomic barriers, exacerbating our exclusion from healthcare rights and public health education.

Arameans in Medicine (AIM) aim to address these issues, working to bridge the healthcare gap and enhance public health education for our community. AIM will also support individuals in healthcare and medical fields to advance in their careers.

"I support AIM, despite not working in any medical or health related industry, because health concerns us all and it is important to help combat the issues faced by our community regarding health care." — Gabriella Saliba

Let's work together for a great purpose!
