The 2024 edition of the Ibn El Jazzar Prize, planned for May 8 at the Ibn El Jazzar Faculty of Medicine in Sousse, pledges to spotlight advances in medical research, practices and cooperation in the Mediterranean region.
This event, organized as part of the celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment established in 1974, will take place under the presidency of Professor Hédi Khiari, Dean of the faculty.
The Ibn El Jazzar Prize, named after the famous physician from the Kairouan School of Medicine, pays tribute to the medical heritage that has impacted Europe throughout the ages. Ibn El Jazzar, recognized for his notable contributions to medicine, saw his work widely circulated in Europe following the translations of Constantine Africanus, a monk of Berber origin.
The first edition of this prize was awarded on May 24, 2023, marking a new chapter in the recognition of medical efforts in the Mediterranean basin.
The MED21 Program, at the initiative of this prize, continues to support and promote medical work which contributes not only to the advancement of science but also to strengthening ties between Mediterranean countries in the field of health.
