Welcome á``ª```∏```cThis issue of Al Rawi is published at one of the busiest timesof the academic year for the Higher Colleges of Technology,their students and faculty. It is a time when the projects of thefirst semester take definite shape in the second semester; andwhen students concentrate on examinations, graduations andnumerous other occasions and events. In this issue, we focuson the health services and the place our students, graduatesand others occupy in this critical sector of UAE industry anddevelopment.

Notable this year have been the official openings of Fujairahand Dubai Men’s Colleges in brand new campuses that reflectthe goal of the HCT to provide students with superb facilities,cutting edge technologies in teaching and learning, and exciting social and recreational opportunities.

Some big special occasions and events are reflected in thesepages, so many of them supported by government, semi-government and businesses who form such powerfulassociations and partnerships with our colleges throughoutthe UAE. Events such as the Human Heart tribute to the lateSheikh Zayed and the Mother of the Nation tribute to HHSheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak bring the many peoples livingand working in the UAE together in celebration of great leaders and national pride.

World-class conferences mounted by Abu Dhabi Men’sCollege/CERT included e-Ducation Without Borders, a biennialconference organised “for students by students”, that broughtyoung scholars from all over the world to Abu Dhabi. Followinghot on its heels ADMC/CERT mounted the impressive Festivalof Thinkers with no less than 10 Nobel prizewinners; thenmore recently, the Global Medical Forum which broughttogether 25 internationally distinguished medical and healthsciences intellectuals.

These are just a few of the big events we highlight in thisissue. Other, smaller community-centred occasions are asimportant in the vibrant life of the Higher Colleges – they tooare represented here.

Welcome and enjoy.

Dr Jim HortonVice Chancellor

Al Rawi: How would you describe relations between the Ministry ofHealth and the Higher Colleges of Technology?

Dr Jaffar: Our relationship is excellent but there should be amechanism to oversee the needs of the organisations withinthe Ministry in terms of manpower and the long term needsfor staffing. We should bear in mind that 90% of our healthworkers are not national. The need for skilled workers in thehealth sector is great, especially when 30% of that expatriatenumber of health workers often seek and find jobs in NorthAmerica and Europe during their annual leaves.

AR: Can you provide us with figures regarding HCT graduates working, undergoing training or in work placements within MOHinstitutions? Is the Ministry facing any difficulties in providing personnel?

Dr J: A good number of HCT students were trained in ourMinistry from 2001 to 2004. We trained 123 trainees in different fields. As for graduates, we have 277 HCT graduatesemployed by the Ministry. However, due to our budget deficit,there are problems in recruiting staff. A special budget mustbe provided for recruitment of national graduates automatically within the health services.

Both male and female graduates are needed in the healthsector, and many job opportunities in government and privatesectors are available. Nurses are highly needed, but also thereis a need for professions such as technicians in different fieldsof the health sector.

AR: How does the Ministry see the benefit of having HCT femalegraduates in the remote areas, considering that UAE females preferto work near their home areas?

Dr J: This could become a problem in the future when most ofthe jobs will be filled by locals, and there should be a mechanism so that they could be relocated to the nearestneeded institute, while providing for women comfortabletransport and working conditions.

In the long run, it should not be up to graduates to choosewhere to work; they should go where they are most needed.

AR: In what areas do you think the HCT should improve or changewhat it is doing in relation to training students for the health services?

Dr J: I think HCT should be collaborating with the Ministry ofHealth and the General Authority for Health Services to fulfillMOH and GAHS needs in the health sector in this country.There should be a high level coordinating committee appointed to achieve these goals.

AR: What do you think of privatisation of medical services?

Dr J: I strongly back privatisation – it is happening now. The UAE government has the aim – now in its final stages – to establish health insurance systems that will cover all

expatriates and local citizens. This encourages the establishment of private medical institutions.

AR: Do you encourage UAE Doctors to run their own clinics or recruitthem into the Ministry institutions?

Dr J: Many doctors are running their own clinics and medicalcentres, and some of them are in charge of private hospitalsas well. The private health sector is a good asset to the publichealth sector.

AR: What is your vision for medical “complexes”* in this country?

Dr J: There are no difficulties in the UAE about building andequipping health complexes to the highest standards. Our difficulties lie in providing highly skilled, dedicated and experienced manpower to operate and run these complexes.Getting doctors from abroad won't be the (long-term) solution, as many of the health workers leave the institutionsand return to their countries after two or three years workinghere. The only way to achieve this is by providing good programs of medical education of nationals who can becomethe highly skilled personnel needed to run these institutions,and also to seek help from well known medical training institutes from abroad.

AR: What was the impact of shifting some medical sections from theMinistry to the General Health Authority?

Dr J: It is highly desirable and should be encouraged andapplied in the other emirates, where each emirate will manageand run its own health services, and these institutions shouldbe handled by well qualified personnel. This will lead to thedecentralisation of the health system – except in parts of preventive medicine in which we have obligations to the WorldHealth Organisation and other such international bodies. I believe that the Ministry of Health has to be more involvedwith the Ministry of Education, to introduce plans for education in Health Sciences, postgraduate training, and continuous medical education. This will help us reach ourgoals of improving medical services that are tailored to theactual needs of the country.

With various colleagues, we have achieved and advanced a great deal in providing health services to the community ofthe UAE. Here are some examples:

In preventive medicine, the rates in infant mortality were reduced from 10.59 per 1000 in 1981 to 8.19 per 1000 in 2002. This was maintained through active campaigns for vaccination which helped eliminate almost all communicable diseases. We are actively involved with AIDS and malaria prevention programs.

In curative medicine, the Ministry built and operated many hospitals and clinics: for example, the number of hospitals jumped from 13 in 1977 to 27 by 2003, leading to an increase in the numbers of beds from 1745 to 4101. This increase is also seen in the numbers of clinics: from 45 in 1977 to 109 in 2003.

The Ministry established nursing schools and improved them in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Western region, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

We had a strong involvement in establishing the UAE Medical School and encouraged Continuous Medical Education (CME) for the health workers.

I was personally involved in establishing the Emirates Medical Journal.

Dr Jaffar on MOH Achievements


“Sheikh Zayed was dynamic and a visionary who was compassionate and caring. His ideas,actions and aspirations for his country were grounded in solid values.”

Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan

In tribute to the memory of the late Sheikh ZayedBin Sultan Al Nahyan, over 7,000 people gatheredtogether at Marina Mall in February to form a large“human heart”.

Nationals and expatriates from many nations, wearing red T-shirts and caps, formed a pulsatingcentre of the heart, while others in white shirtsformed a brilliant border around it. When the formation of the heart was in place, a group holding a giant banner with the picture of SheikhZayed ran through the centre of the heart.

A truly family event, the day included an addressfrom HE Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan,Minister of Education, who described the nation’spride in Sheikh Zayed's great achievements. Hecalled the human heart “a manifestation of supportto the values of peace and progress that constitutedthe basis of the UAE” and urged everyone together“to rededicate ourselves to the principles that wereimportant to Sheikh Zayed's leadership.”

Popular UAE DJs, Fadi from Radio 1 and Abdullahfrom Emirates FM, helped to revv up the crowd andinternational dancing displays and other fine singingand dancing groups kept everyone inside and surrounding the flag well entertained.

The event was organised by the Higher Colleges ofTechnology in association with the Emirates WorldHeart Group and the Red Crescent Society, with thetwin objectives of honouring Sheikh Zayed and creating awareness about heart disease.

The magnificent efforts of students from around the worldwho assisted over 100 students at Abu Dhabi Men's Collegemount the third and most successful “e-Ducation WithoutBorders” (EWB) International Student Conference in February,were praised by His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak AlNahayan, Minister of Education and Chancellor of the HCT, atthe opening of this biennial event in February.

The conference, which focuses on “e-learning” (electroniclearning via computers) to break down geographical barriers,had as its 2005 theme the exploration of new strategies andlearning methods for the efficient delivery of “e-ducation” bothinside and outside classrooms.

HE Sheikh Nahayan described the UAE and the Gulf regionas a fascinating and vital part of the world, “for it representsone of the oldest centres of civilisation”. Present-day progress in the UAE is “rooted in the participation of everyone” saidSheikh Nahayan. Though the national heritage was based onIslamic values and time-honoured traditions, “it is also basedon the creative energy of people committed to economic andtechnological progress”.

The over 1,000 young delegates came from 89 countries tolisten over three days to eminent speakers, share papers fromtheir own projects and experiences, and participate in workshops that exposed them to new ideas and practices indifferent countries. UAE students were well represented, both as organisers at ADWC (alongside the 200 studentsinternationally who helped organise the event) and as participants delivering research papers. Halimah Khalfan andMaryam Abdullah from Fujairah Women's College proudlypresented a critical analysis paper at one of the sessions thatearned them a special award.

Outstanding contributions were made by Angela Angel fromAustria who won the Sheikh Zayed Award for OutstandingPaper and HCT students Sultan Karmostaji, Hasan Al Jasmiand Younis Awad Al Masaabi who won the NBAD IndustryAward for Best Presentation.

Professor Murray Gell-Mann, one of two Nobel Laureates inPhysics to speak at the Conference, called for lowering ofbarriers in education, particularly those separating the naturalsciences and the social and behavioural sciences. “It is important to have a connection among different branches ofculture,” he said. “All academic subjects have their ownimportance in helping a person apprehend the world. All disciplines describe the same world.”

Other eminent speakers at the conference included NobelLaureate, Professor Carlo Rubbia, Terence Matthews,Chairman Mitel Networks, Dr John Davies, V-P Sales andMarketing INTEL, and many others from academia, govern-ment, industry, and the media.

FWC paper calls for a nation-wide e-learning strategyThe following is extracted from the paper presented to the e-Ducation conference byHalimah Mohamed and Maryam Abdullah, students of Fujairah Women's College.

“It is really crucial to note that technology is not content, and it is not process; rather technology can beused to provide access to both. Using technology toenhance learning can create a better e-learning environment for the learners ...” say the authors, adding:“There is little data to analyse the real value of e-learningthat adds to core teaching and learning activities”.

The paper posits that a successful e-learning systeminvolves a systemic as well as a systematic process ofplanning, development, evaluation, and implementationof meaningful learning environments. The students usedcase studies, including their own experiences as FWCstudents utilising the latest technology to learn.

The paper recommends development of a nation-widelearning strategy that is based on cutting edge technologies without compromising the quality of education or diminishing the scope and depth of learning. By insisting on quality improvement and maintenance of learning content, universities and colleges will achieve “a better return on the UAE'sinvestment in education”.

For their sterling efforts, the young authors were recognised with a certificate of merit and the offer of agenerous scholarship to study in the USA.

Professor Murray Gell-Mann addressing the conference

ô“DƒŸG ‘ çóëàj ,¿Ée-π«Z …GQƒe Qƒ°ù«ahÈdG


When I left my home in Canada, it was a gorgeous winter'sday – temperature below zero, lots of snow, and a bright bluesky. When I stepped off the plane in Abu Dhabi, it was thecomplete opposite of what I had left at home. There werepalm trees and the weather was warm – something you don'texperience in Canada in February.

I have to admit, I didn't know what to expect when I arrived inAbu Dhabi. I knew it would be different in terms of climate,language, and culture, but I didn't know how different it wouldbe. One cultural difference I immediately noticed was how students from the United Arab Emirates wore their traditionalclothing. In Canada, traditional clothing is reserved for specialoccasions only. It is great that in today's world some peoplechoose to wear clothing that represents who they are culturally.

Even before the conference officially started, I met studentsfrom all over the world – Ireland, Uzbekistan, Brazil, and theUnited Arab Emirates. Once the conference got under way,

students began to learn about each other. We all asked similar questions – where we studied, what we studied, andwhat we wanted to do after our studies were completed. As Iasked these questions, I realised that we may be different dueto the places we come from, but yet we are so similarbecause we are all students. We all came to Abu Dhabi forthe same reasons, we were all in the process of completingour higher education, and we all had goals we wanted toachieve.

A memorable experience of e-Ducation Without Borders waslistening to the presentations of Tim Sebastian and NikGowing of the BBC. I had seen both of these men on TV, andit was great to hear them speak in person. The SpecialSessions were also very interesting. In the one that I attended,we were all divided up into groups of six and had to brainstorm on a certain topic, and then present our ideas tothe whole group. It was interesting to see students from everycorner of the globe getting together and sharing such a rangeof ideas.

When I returned to Canada, I had only good things to say ofmy time in Abu Dhabi. E-ducation Without Borders 2005 issomething I will never forget, and I feel privileged to have hadthe opportunity to be a part of such a great event.

During the Festival the leading thinkers interacted throughpanel discussions and workshops with leading young scholars of the UAE and the region. The audience wasencouraged to think through challenges for the future towardsdesigning a way forward.

Dr de Bono stressed that the quality of the future dependsdirectly on the quality of human thinking. “Thinking is not just

a matter of inborn intelligence but is a skill that can be taught,learned and developed.” He went on to tell the young people,many of them drawn from research institutes and universitiesand from HCT Bachelor of Applied Sciences and HigherDiploma programs, that many human conflicts and problemsarise from poor thinking. “Perception is the most importantpart of thinking, not logic,” he said.

“College life in general is not only where you learn, it is whereyou develop those personal skills that are so important. Wehad a great faculty who gave us their total support, whichmeant so much to us. The work placement experience and allthe other college activities combined to make the four yearstotally positive.”

Before graduating from Dubai Men’s College in the Bankingand Financial Services Program in 1996, Arif Alharmi, currently Manager of Corporate & Institutional Banking, hadalready begun his corporate banking career. In 1991, as ahigh school graduate, Arif started full-time work with theNational Bank of Fujairah which sponsored his studies atDMC from 1993-1996. During his college years he continuedto work with NBF part-time and in his college vacations.

After college graduation, he continued his banking career,joining the ABN Amro Bank in Dubai in 1997, where he

worked until September 2000 when he joined the HSBC BankMiddle East Limited.

“As an organization HSBC is an extremely good bank to workfor. HSBC take care of their staff and they reward performance. It was the first bank here, it is well integratedinto the local economy,” he says. “HSBC offers many servicesso I have been exposed to many different aspects of banking,” adding that the regional training centre for HSBC isin Dubai so there are more frequent training opportunities.

He is enthusiastic about his role with HSBC and like so manyHCT graduates is committed to lifelong learning. In addition tothe programs provided by the bank, Arif has successfullycompleted a Master’s Degree in International Businessawarded by the University of Wollongong. “There is so muchto learn about corporate banking,” he says. “Dubai Men’sCollege made us aware that the more you develop yourselfthe more you can contribute and the more you can grow”.

As Corporate Banking Manager, Arif interacts closely withlocal businesses and industries providing a wide range offinancial services for his clients. He obviously enjoys this contact and the opportunity to provide service.

For the future Arif looks at Investment Banking as a possiblenext step in what promises to be a lengthy and positivecareer with HSBC. His aim is to learn as much about as manydifferent departments within the bank as possible in order to

make a significant contribution.

Saeed Rashed Hassoon Al Shehhi is a man used to facingchallenges and it shows! Successfully combining a full-timeCollege Program at Ras Al Khaimah Men’s College with a full-time job and his family responsibilities has prepared him wellfor his present position as Assistant Engineer Instrumentationat RAK Cement. One of the College’s outstanding 1998 graduates, Saeed joined RAK Cement three years ago following ten years with the neighbouring Cement IndustryCompany.

His schedule during the years he has spent at RAK Men’sCollege gives some indication of the challenges he faced – “Ihad to go to the College from 8 o’clock to 3 o’clock, going towork immediately and then I also worked a full shift onThursdays. I hardly saw my family, but they wanted me to besuccessful. When I was young I wanted to be an engineersomewhere so I selected the Higher Colleges of Technologybecause of the facilities and staff they had.”

“I was suddenly motivated when I joined RAK Men's College.One of my teachers said, ‘you have to do it’.” I realised that Ihad to have self esteem and become self motivated."

Reflecting on his career in the cement industry, Saeedregards his greatest challenge as staying on top of the newtechnology that is always changing. “Most of the technologyhere comes from abroad. We do not design technology, weare consumers so I must study and learn it!”

This young engineer is still very much involved with hisCollege. He represents RAK Cement on the College’sProgram Advisory Committee and is working to increase thelinkage between the College and industries in RAK. Saeedwas chosen to head this advisory group and works to provideopportunities for students from the College to get experiencein the workplace.

His advice to young people looking for a good career is “Donot stop self education, you have to read and continue tolearn”. Saeed continued to study after graduating with hisHigher Diploma and then studied to receive his Bachelordegree in Applied Science in Engineering Management fromDubai Men’s College.

“I advise everyone to keep on learning. Learning does notstop when you leave college; in fact it increases. Life is achallenge and I believe that most of the students here havethe ability to meet the challenges and be successful!”.

Graduates and students of the HCT are contributing to thehealth of the nation, thanks to the vision of the late SheikhZayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the guidance of HE SheikhNahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, Minister of Education andChancellor of the HCT, the support of government ministries, other agencies, and the public and private healthcare industry sectors. These include the Ministry of Health,the Department of Health and Medical Services (Dubai), andthe General Authority for Health Services (GAHS) in AbuDhabi. Modern medical and health services are supportedby teams of dedicated professionals, and HCT educationalprograms are enabling many UAE nationals to qualify andwork in a variety of health-related occupations that are vitalto the health and well being of the public.

Patients increasingly find HCT-qualified nationals helpingthem in hospitals and clinics around the country.A graduate of HCT’s Medical Administrative Technology

program will greet you at the reception desk and guide youthrough admission procedures. Medical tests in hospitalsand clinics will be performed by Medical LaboratoryTechnology graduates, while other HCT graduates will beworking with X-Ray and other medical imaging technologies. Graduates of Pharmacy Technology now helpto dispense modern medicines, and graduates of theMilitary Nursing program are making a difference to the military health services. Graduates of Health InformationManagement provide a vital backup service for doctors,health services planners, and researchers.

HCT offers this range of health programs at Dubai Men’sand Women’s Colleges, Sharjah Women’s College, AbuDhabi Men’s and Women’s Colleges, mostly at HigherDiploma and Bachelor’s degree levels. A joint program withthe UAE University Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciencesallows HCT Medical Laboratory Technology graduates tocomplete degree level studies at the university. With theimplementation of a contract between Abu Dhabi Men’sCollege and its commercial arm, CERT, and the GeneralAuthority for Health Services (GAHS) the number of graduates in Nursing, Pharmacy, Medical Imaging, andMedical Laboratory Technology is expected to increasesteadily.

Prevention of illness and the promotion of health are thefocus of the first group of graduates from the new Bachelorof Science in Health Education completing studies in 2006and expected to be employed in hospitals, clinics, schools,and industry.

Dubai Municipality and Dubai Men’s College have beengraduating Environmental Health Inspectors for many years.ADMC/CERT, working with Abu Dhabi Municipality, havenow added a new Environmental Health Higher Diplomaprogram to their successful Food Inspection program.

Thanks to the vision of Dubai Police Headquarters a newprogram has commenced at the Dubai Colleges to trainparamedics to the highest international standards, alwaysthe goal of HCT. In 2004, the HCT’s Health Science programs underwent a major quality review, includingreports from a team of six international experts. A clean billof health was awarded!

A partnership that started in 2003 between the Dubai PoliceAmbulance Service and the Dubai Men’s and Women’sColleges is paving the way towards the emiratisation of healthand safety in this country.

Addressing the need for international-standard paramedicalcare and the employment of UAE nationals in this vital emergency sector of public health, the four-year ParamedicsProgram gives national men and women a thorough grounding in the theory and practical applications of emergency response services to the Higher Diploma level. Itmay also permit them to take an additional post-graduationyear towards a Bachelor degree in Paramedic Sciences.

A visit this spring to Dubai Women’s College and the classroom of health sciences teacher, Ron Blough, revealedthe somewhat unusual sight of male and female studentscrouched over their computers on opposite sides of the room

as they pursued the academic side of their Year 1 studies.The experiment is working – the students, all Dubai Policemembers, seem to handle the gender mix with courtesy andsensitivity to cultural appropriateness, particularly the smallgroups of young men who are mature enough to pursue theirstudies within a women’s college. They and their female counterparts will have the professionalism, now as studentsand later as graduates, to act quickly and competently in emergency, life-and-death situations where gender differentiation must come second to immediate life-savingresponse. Ron Blough says, “The fact there are men in thecourse has not really been a problem.”

The Paramedics program has been developed in accordancewith the Harrisburg, USA, Community College accreditedcourses. After a Foundations year in which they develop theirstudy skills in English, Sciences, Mathematics andComputing, the students enter Paramedic Sciences Year 1which includes enough theory and practice to take studentsto “First Responder” certificate level – an entry-level qualifica-tion for ambulance service.

By Year 2, students further develop their knowledge andpractice towards their US EMT Basic Certificate – this yearincludes a field trip to the United States where students willtake the exam. Those unable to go to the US will be able totake the examination in Dubai, from US evaluators.In Year 3, they undertake advanced emergency and pre-hospital care towards the US EMT Paramedic Certificateas advanced life support emergency practitioners – in otherwords, they are now fully fledged Paramedics.

Discussion with some of the students in Ron Blough’s classbrought forth very positive comments about the course andthe career opportunities it affords the students. “I like the mixture of theory and practice,” “We are expected to do whatwe learn fairly soon in the first year – that’s a bit scary, but wesucceed, and Mr Ron is there to advise us.” All of the students say they feel special in being the first to dothis demanding course.

Saeeda, a Year 1 student, described how she had to use herskills at DWC when an injured girl from one of the other college programs fell down and displaced her patella (kneecap). The paramedic students were called to her assistance.While the male students and Mr Blough respectfully kept their distance, Saeeda, assisted by her friend Alia, were able toidentify the injury, assess the damage, and immobilise thestudent’s knee in a splint (Mr Blough calling out support and

assistance as required by Saeeda). The girl was then transported from DWC to the hospital in a police ambulance.

On another occasion, paramedics student Mona was presentwhen a DWC student had a seizure after falling downstairsand being unconscious for several minutes. “I was able tosuccessfully check her breath and her pulse and give her oxygen, as well as doing other checks. She was shaking a little” When asked if she too was shaking, Mona replied, “Yes, inside I was, but I stayed calm”.

Both Mona and Saeeda stressed the importance of their training in helping them stay calm. Saeeda also attributesbeing a mother of two children to helping her keep her cool.

Terry Fox Runs

More nationalsneeded in cancer research“I’m not doing my run to become rich and famous... The only important part isfinding a cure for cancer... Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’sgot to keep going without me.” *

Terry Fox, July 1980, who lost a leg to cancer and who ran across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Although the disease reclaimed the young man before he could complete his task, his courageous battle is now being won and his memory honoured inmedical research laboratories all over the world.

The intensive fund-raising by HCT students during theannual Terry Fox Runs in March are directly channeledinto cancer research at the United Arab EmiratesUniversity Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Thisspring, in conjunction with Abu Dhabi Women’s CollegeTerry Fox event and the College’s Healthy Living Month,students and faculty were treated to a video presentationby UAE national, Dr Sehamuddin Galadari, AssociateProfessor in the Department of Biochemistry at UAEU.

Describing how Terry Fox funds raised go directly to hismedical research unit, Dr Galadari presented a video ofhis laboratory work and the state-of-the-art researchequipment used there. The presentation showed someof the ways in which cancer cells proliferate and how scientists are using studies in biochemistry to isolateenzymes and other factors that will assist in diagnosisand cure of different types of cancers.

Urging young women to continue their HCT studies inhealth sciences towards higher degrees, Dr Galadaristressed the need for more national citizens to work inmedical research. “Right now, we have excellentresearchers from many countries working in our labs,” hesaid, “But when they leave, their knowledge goes withthem.” He added that funds raised in the UAE, stay inthe UAE – “for which we are thankful to the Terry Foxorganisers.”

According to Dr Galadari the Terry Fox Run was the firstand largest private funding body in the UAE to donate tocancer research.

Funding“top-notch”research in UAECalvin Pynn, Chair of the Dubai Terry Fox Run OrganisingCommittee for the past five years, announced that overDh500,000 had been raised in the Dubai campaign.

Retiring this year as Chairperson of the Dubai OrganisingCommittee, Mr Pynn plans to continue his work with the charity, to focus on how funds are allocated to differentresearch projects. “Because of the success of both the Dubaiand Abu Dhabi runs, funding available for research in the UAEhas been increasing over the past 11 years,” Pynn says,adding that this allows for more projects to be considered.

“Cancer research projects in any one country are small partsof a complex jigsaw puzzle to beat cancer around the world,”he says. The Terry Fox Foundation, through its headquartersin Toronto, Canada, recognises the research being carried outin the UAE, which Pynn describes as “top-notch”.

Dubai Women’s College Diploma Year III students organized a 2.5 km walk at Al Mamzar Park and raised overDh7,000 for cancer research. The Abu Dhabi Women’sCollege raised Dh8,000 in its Terry Fox walk around campus,swelling the overall Abu Dhabi Run’s total to someDh280,000.

Biomedical engineering “not a deskjob by anymeans”

HCT Health Sciences

Biomedical engineering has developed rapidly over the pasttwo decades and finds applications in all aspects of humanhealth care. Working in teams with physicians, scientists,other engineers and technologists as well as administrators,biomedical engineers work at the intersection of electrical,mechanical, civil and chemical engineering applications (alongwith material science, medicine, and mathematics) to solvebiological and medical problems.

Abu Dhabi has become one of the most vibrant cities in theMiddle East. The rapid growth of government and privatehospitals over the last ten years has brought about heavyinvestment in technically sophisticated and advanced equipment in the health care system. This has placed greatdemands on health authorities to provide biomedical professionals for government hospitals who can design, operate and maintain medical and therapeutic equipment.

To safeguard this long-term investment, GAHS recognises theimportance of training UAE nationals as technicians, technologists and engineers to work in an integrated way withother branches of the health services. The partnership ofHCT/CERT with GAHS is extended to other areas of healthtechnology programs such as nursing, medical lab and pharmacy fields.

Shakib Farhat notes that biomedical technologists and engineers need “an enquiring mind and an engineering mentality – it’s not a desk job by any means”. Whether entering the field as technologists or as fully fledged

engineers, they must be adaptable to the needs of their workplaces and the different departments of hospitals andclinics in which they work – and be able to communicate well with other people working there.

“They work with many computerized machines, including X-ray machines, MRI scanners and the like, and can beinvolved as engineers with the technology related to design of articificial limbs and other prosthetic devices.” They areinvolved in training all types and levels of hospital staff in howto operate and monitor and new equipment, including maintenance procedures. Like other areas of technology,

biomedical technology changes rapidly and it is essential thatbiomedical technologists keep abreast of new developmentsin their field.

Shakib is enthusiastic about the potential of the 43 studentscurrently enrolled in the ADMC/CERT programs, most ofwhom are currently finishing their First Year of the HigherDiploma program. Many plan to continue to the Bachelor ofApplied Science degree level. “The feedback we have had sofar is encouraging, and students are looking forward to contributing to the profession in the UAE,” he says.

Women make up 22 of the total, all studying at the CERTfacility. Though Shakib says the girls’ original expectationswere for more managerial positions, they were told that, likeother branches of engineering, biomedical technology is predominantly technical in nature. He adds, “It’s been pleasant for us as teachers to see that the young ladies areas active and interested as their male counterparts”.

Abu Dhabi’s General Authority for Health Services (GAHS) is sponsoringground-breaking training in conjunctionwith Abu Dhabi Men’s College and CERT,the commercial arm of the HCT, to offerHigher Diploma and Bachelor degrees in the important field of biomedical engineering. Shakib Farhat, Supervisorof Electronics and BiomedicalEngineering courses for ADMC/CERT,describes some recent developments inthe field.

talk to Al Rawi about her new position, the future for HealthSciences graduates in the medical industries of Dubai and theother emirates, and about how she views the state of thehealth services in the UAE now and in the years ahead.Asked if she felt daunted by the huge job she started inJanuary this year, Dr Al Mazrouie responds, “No, I like thechallenge because DHCC is unique. There is no example forme to follow – and we have to put in our own structure.” Inthis, DHCC has a close strategic collaboration with HarvardMedical School.

DHCC plans to become the internationally recognised locationof choice for quality health care, that will include clinical andwellness services, and medical education and research (seediagram). At the core is the Academic Medical Centre whichincludes the University Teaching Hospital, Harvard MedicalSchool Dubai Center, and a research centre. Dr Al Mazrouieheads the medical cluster shown on the diagram and reportsdirectly to the DHCC Chief Operations Officer.

While at Tawam Hospital, Dr Al Mazrouie moved up the physician ranks from intern, to Medical Officer and, during herfinal two years there, to Deputy Medical Director. In thecourse of her work in Al Ain she saw HCT graduates workingin the hospital, but mostly in medical administration.

She sees a stronger need for UAE nationals to become partof the medical system in areas like nursing and radiology.“There is a huge lack of nurses – and this is a global situation,” she says. She feels strongly that the nursing profession should be raised to a higher standing and that wellsubsidised nursing schools and colleges should be established around the UAE, taking students right up toBachelor of Nursing levels. And salaries should be raised –“the locals want to go to work – if the job pays well and thestatus is there, the national people will do the work.”

Dr Al Mazrouie has a scholarly nature, strong professionalism,and a sense of wonder and gratitude to her country for givingher the opportunity to be part of the UAE’s phenomenalgrowth and for the support of its government in encouragingits citizens to help build solid infrastructures. Like manynationals who talk to Al Rawi, she expresses profound emotion when speaking of the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan AlNahyan. “He gave us practically everything – good healthcare, education, housing and social support. We’ve been sofortunate to have Sheikh Zayed – the other side of that is,now, what shall we give?”

This is what drives the new Medical Director at DHCC.

New HCT/UAEU venture in health sciencesThe first joint venture in health sciences between the Higher Colleges and UAE University in Al Ain is helping students remain in the UAE to access higher levels of medical studies. The program is jointly managed by Directors and Administrators from HCT and by Deans andtheir representatives from UAEU.

Twelve HCT Higher Diploma graduates drawn from Sharjahand Al Ain Women’s colleges commenced full-time studiestowards the joint UAEU/HCT Bachelor of Science in MedicalLaboratory Technology in September 2004. They have followed a range of courses in medical sciences taught atUAEU by both university and HCT faculty members.

In the first semester of the program, all scientific context wastaught at UAEU. In the current, second semester, the students continue with some of their studies and undertakepracticums and projects coordinated by the HCT. Whereverpossible, practicums are located close to the students’ home bases.

Dr Muneera Al Naqbi

A brave heart and brave dreams

Doctor Muneera Saif Bin Ahmed Al Naqbi, a surgeon inSheikh Khalifa Hospital Abu Dhabi, is a role model for ambitious young Emirati women. When she graduated in2001 from the Faculty of Medicine at UAE University, shebecame only the second female to specialise in general surgery. Shortly, she will leave for Germany to pursue fourmore years of study towards Board Certification as a surgeonin Europe.

While praising UAEU for the well qualified medical graduates itproduces, she criticises the low enrolment rate of students inmedical studies. “Of our cohort of 23 female students in thefirst year only 16 people completed their studies,” she said. She feels that the low numbers of students taking medicalstudies in areas such as, in particular, nursing, is due to thelack of orientation and awareness, in addition to the socialattitudes in the area: “Unfortunately, society doesn’t differentiate between a nurse and, say, an airline hostess,which stands in contrast to the fact that nursing is an important factor in health care. It’s why I always encouragethe promotion of orientation campaigns to increase awareness by nationals of the career of nursing – from boththe humanistic and national interest points of view.”

Dr Al Naqbi has performed over twenty surgeries by herself,and estimates that she has attended and participated in morethan one hundred major surgeries alongside other doctors.Commenting on the influence of this critical career on herfemininity she says, “My heart is strong” – a female surgeon,like the men, has to be brave. She says she finds no

difference between males and females in practising this job. “We think of nothing in the operating room but the patient’shealth.” Outside of the operating theatre and after work, shereleases her emotions. “Beyond that, I enjoy drawing and tennis and occasional travelling, all of which helps lessen thepressure of work”.

She was motivated to be a surgeon in the sixth year of hermedical studies. “But becoming a doctor fulfilled my dreams – and those of my mother,” she adds.

Doctor Al Naqbi felt she had to overcome many obstaclesduring her studies, “I suffered very much from the universitydormitory; with all the distractions from other students, it didn’t suit the intense studies of a medical student.” Shenearly left because of that. Once qualified she initially found itdifficult as a fresh graduate and knowing that she was the firstnational doctor to work in Khalifa Hospital, to get used toworking with westerners and other doctors who were all fluentin English.

“If I had not studied medicine in UAE University, I would havestudied other aspects of the health services in the HigherColleges of Technology,” she says. “I advise national malesand females to study in the health sciences, because there isa big shortage of nationals in these positions”.

She concluded by saying that the health services in the UAE are good, but that greater efforts are needed for thecountry to reach generally accepted standards in health andmedical care.

March was a healthful month at Abu Dhabi Women’s College wherehealth professionals from Khalifa Hospital and Al Mazrouri MedicalCentre addressed the general student body on such topics as nutrition, fitness, dentistry, pregnancy, thalessemia identification andmanagement, and gestational diabetes.

These themes arose from class projects for Health Sciences studentswho were involved in organising displays and speakers, based ontheir academic curriculum. Students in the work-readiness programorganised the opening day of quizzes, exercise classes, games andawareness projects.

The event was also tied into the Terry Fox Walk around campus toraise funds for medical research at UAEU in Al Ain (see separatestory on page 32).

"Healthy Mondays" during the month included information sessions,health assessments and blood testing, talks on alternative and complementary medicine, herbal research and traditional medicines,reflexology, basic first aid training, and aerobics for healthy bones.

The health of “the whole body” invited students to participate insports activities, healthy eating, skin care, and “healthy living for souland mind” which included art classes, concerts and chess games.

World Health Day celebrated at SharjahIndustry officials attending the World Health Day activities in April at Al Baraha Hospital praised Sharjah Women’s College HealthEducation students who were completing practicums in community health at the hospital and at primary health centres inSharjah and Dubai.

Students at The Higher Colleges of Technology have agreat opportunity to broaden their experience of the artsthrough the Abu Dhabi Music Foundation (ADMF). TheFoundation, under the Presidency and Patronage of HESheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, Minister ofEducation and Chancellor of the HCT, is a non-profitorganisation established to advance the arts, culture andcreativity among residents of Ab u Dhabi, with a particularfocus on students and young nationals.

This focus comes mainly from the inspiration and leadership of its founder, Mrs. Hoda Kanoo, who is widelyrecognised as a “cultural guru” in the UAE arts world. Over20 years ago she studied in Paris and was impressed bythe rich cultural life she enjoyed there. Nowadays, shemakes sharing this experience her personal mission, especially with the young whom she sees as “our anchor of tomorrow”. “I wanted to make a framework for youngpeople to appreciate the diversity of different cultures fromall over the world,” she says. “This helps them to broadentheir understanding of other peoples and to build bridgeswith those from other cultures”.

The diverse ADMF music and culture program, which runsroughly through the academic year to May 2005, presentsconcerts, lectures and workshops on campus at the HCTColleges, Zayed University and at the Cultural Foundationin Abu Dhabi. The annual highlight is the Abu DhabiClassical Music Festival which celebrated its 3rd year in April.

These events give students, nationals and residents achance to join together to experience art ranging from

Western jazz, Lebanese orchestras, classical piano,Spanish quartets, cellists, sopranos, film, art design, andArabic musicians and poets – featuring artists of high international quality.

Hoda Kanoo emphasises the importance of students gaining a unique benefit from visiting artists. Students canattend workshops and lectures and interview the artists in a public forum, which offers invaluable direct learning opportunities with experts in their fields. “These opportunities mean a lot to the students and it is thrilling to see how inspired they become by getting to know theartists individually”.

A highlight of the Festival is the student competition forawards in creativity and performance in the arts. In addition, students can compete for the Hoda andMohamed Kanoo Award for Creativity, a special awarddonated by the Kanoo family, and given annually to a student who makes an outstanding contribution to the arts in the community.

The Abu Dhabi Music Foundation and Hoda Kanoo clearlyplay a key role in ensuring that students get a broad exposure to the arts. Mrs Kanoo sees this accomplishmentin a special light: “as an integral part of the globalizationprocess, a sharing of cultural progression”.

“By experiencing art, film, music, and so on from other cultures, students are better able to live and work with people of all types and nationalities. This helps round outtheir academic experience, enhancing an already high quality education with high quality cultural exposure”.

The recipient of the 2004 Abu Dhabi Music Festival studentaward for Art, Abu Dhabi Women’s College student, AsmaAbdul Rahman Al Amiri, is a naturally gifted painter. Hersubmitted painting, “Music is Peace”, was just the secondserious work she had painted and she regarded enteringthe competition mainly as an opportunity to challenge herself in order to gain more confidence with the brush.She believes that winning the award has achieved this goaland sealed her commitment to life as an artist.

The award was judged and presented by Mrs Hoda Kanoo,founder of the Abu Dhabi Music Foundation, which sponsors the annual festival (see separate story

on page 44). Mrs Kanoo said she chose Asma’s work forthe prize because her painting “had a strong sense of completeness”.

Asma, a Health Information Management student, is grateful that the ADWC also offers her the opportunity togrow as an artist. The art classes are voluntary but Asmamakes attending them an important part of life at theCollege. “Painting offers me a great balance to my studies.It relieves stress associated with my studies and gives meinsight that I wouldn’t otherwise have,” she says.

“Unless I am away from the studio on a work placement, I spend many happy hours a weekin the art room, attending art classesor quietly working on new pieces.”She now has an impressive portfolioand one of her major pieces hangsin the College dining room whilemore of her work can be seenthroughout the College.

Asma’s art teacher, ADWC Artist inResidence, Careen Oi, says that thisbudding artist is “exceptionally gifted and a delight to teach”. Shecalls Asma an enthusiastic studentwho is eager to learn the subtletechniques of painting.

When Asma completes her HealthSciences studies at ADWC thisJune, she will go forward in life withtwo skills: one in her chosen academic field, the other in theexpertise she cultivated in the ArtRoom. ADWC has allowed her torealise her childhood dream to paintand she will be forever thankful thatshe was able to open the door toher art.

Art is a dimension that reflects the sum of our achievementsand enriches our life experiences. It is a celebration of individual and collective skills that stimulate thought andarouse the senses, and the Ras Al Khaimah Women’s CollegeMini-Arts Festival in February was a colourful manifestation ofthat purpose.

Dr Ian Hall, Director of the Ras Al Khaimah Higher Colleges,welcomed this as an important gathering and declared thefestival open in the presence of invited HCT faculty and students from Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, and Ras Al Khaimah.The essence of the festival was active participation in theevents that began with the screening of the poignant award-winning short film, Aushba’s Well, by Waleed AlShehhi. Impressive editing and atmospheric sound effectivelyconveyed a delicate balance of physical hardship, spiritualhope and renewal of life amid the desolate backdrop of anArabian landscape.

The audience was next treated to poetry recitations fromIbrahim Al Mulla and Mohammed Hassan. Ladies were able to enjoy a memorable performance of traditional Shellah fromKhadijah Ahmed and, later in the day, students from SharjahWomen’s College gave a lively performance of a short playdepicting Sheikh Zayed’s transformation of the UAE.

In keeping with the artisticspirit of space, freedomand movement, events and activities were scattered around the college to encourage theobserver, attract the curious, and offer the interested the opportunityto participate. The age-oldtradition of storytelling inArabia was adapted by student teacher traineesfrom RKWC who demon-strated storytelling as anexciting medium for teach-

ing and learning with young children.

Over loudspeakers in the cafeteria, a festival of musical appreciation – ranging from Bob Marley to Wagner –

accompanied the day’s menu. Proving that art and commerce are not incompatible, an enterprising group ofbusiness students encouraged visitors to create their ownhenna designs and place orders for the RKWC Business Fair to be held in mid-March.

The visual arts were well represented, to include adorning acollege wall with colourful handprints; a kaleidoscopic array ofcoloured stones; and RKWC’s teacher and “artist-in-resi-dence”, Morris Jensen, treated onlookers to a demonstrationof water-colour brush work on canvas. RKWC staff and students and those visiting from other colleges were able topresent their own impressive visual arts and graphic designs:vivid compositions of portraiture and landscape in oils, water-colour, charcoal, pencil and mosaic.

Local colour was provided by Emirati ladies in traditional dressfrom the Social Development Centre of Ras Al Khaimah, displaying a selection of traditional Arabian handcrafts. Therewere examples of work and practice using the 4,000-year-oldChinese art of silk screen painting demonstrated by JennyBergh; intricate cross-stitch hangings; mosaic-framed mirrors;and a selection of eye-catching, atmospheric photographs.

The festival’s organiser, Lorraine Doherty of RKWC, paid tribute to the many students, teachers and administratorswho gave the time and effort to make the event such a success. An early morning deluge failed to dampen the manyenthusiastic comments from visitors who expressed hope that this would be the first of many mini-festivals from HCT celebrating art, life, and all who participated.
