HEALTH CROSSING ALL BARRIERS

Dr. Sallam is always a pioneer in his endeavors; he continually ignores social and logistical barriers to providing aid to those in need. He was on the first aircraft to land at the Gaza airport as part of a greater humanitarian and cultural convoy to the territories. Dr. Sallam was also the head of emergency aid to the flood disasters in Sudan and he overlooked his personal safety by traveling to the embattled region to directly assist in providing aid. Through careful negotiations, Dr. Sallam was the first to end the long rejection of humanitarian aid by the Iraqi government. Dr. Sallam was personally on the first aircraft, allowed by the UN, carrying the humanitarian mission and was directly involved in providing health care. The success of the mission was best demonstrated by the multiple humanitarian missions that made their way to Iraq after the Iraqi government accepted the idea of such aid.
