“I’ve known Mohammad Jameel since the early 2000s, when I was at MIT and he served on the corporation. I was always impressed by his warm personality and his vision as he was supporting the [Abdul Latif Jameel] Poverty Action Lab at MIT.
It was wonderful to get back in touch with Mohammad as he came to visit us at Imperial College London. We share a lot of common goals with Community Jameel, so it was a natural partnership. As Mohammad came to visit us and we got talking about all the needs that the world had in human health, in poverty, in helping people around the entire world.
I’ve enjoyed getting to know Fady and Hassan as well as we forged the goals for a Community Jameel/Imperial College London partnership to produce the Jameel Institute together.
Imperial College and Community Jameel – through the Jameel Institute for Disease and Emergency Analytics (J-IDEA) are creating practical and effective ways to improve global health and well-being. We’re very much recognizing the importance of applying all that we know about world health to chronic diseases and other health care problems around the world, especially the areas where health and poverty intersect.
I congratulate you on the 75th anniversary of Abdul Latif Jameel and your family’s philanthropy which is making such a difference to so many people in so many parts of the world. We at Imperial College London are very proud to be part of this relationship, and we’re very proud to be serving that mission for you going forward. I know that your father and grandfather would be very proud of all of us today congratulations!”
