Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Award for Medical Sciences (SHAMS) is the most prominent and prestigious award of its kind in the region.
Progress in the field of advanced medical research is the basic support line for creating a vibrant health service system. An award of this composition and stature could go a long way in initiating radical changes in the health service sector of the region in general and the UAE in particular.
There are so many thousands of good doctors, scientists, and researchers doing outstanding work all over the world that it would be impossible for us to even know about all of them. The Awards, however, do provide us the opportunity to honour some of the dedication and hard work that improves the lives of human beings globally.
Science is an evolving, ever-changing body that needs us to constantly learn and update ourselves with the latest findings and techniques by meeting others and learning from them. The Awards enable our doctors to learn from the best of the best, and this experience is absolutely priceless.
Once visiting doctors have gone back home, the Awards create a channel that is opened for future dialogue, opportunities for mutual cooperation and learning. Gradually, they have led to several Western Universities becoming aware of Dubai, their leading professors and doctors being regular visitors to the city and an enrichment of the local medical community.
The award will be entering into the 6th term 2009-2010 and the main topic for this term will be DIABETES MELLITUS and the main theme of the awards will be Endocrinology.
The Award has three categories, International, Arab World & United Arab Emirates awards, to inspire and encourage scientific researchers from all over the world to take part with their contributions by nominating the potential candidates for the awards.
Sheikh Hamdan Award for Medical Sciences will always be in the forefront to honour the excellent scientists.
