BACKGROUND AND ORIGIN
A serious disparity exists between the
growing ageing population and the number of health care
providers being trained to meet the unique health care
needs of older adults. This problem is both in developed
and developing world. The key to alleviating the shortage,
according to researchers, is for medical schools to lead
the change in giving geriatric medicine the attention
it deserves, cultivating programs where there are none,
improving existing ones. There is a major deficiency in
the number of physicians trained in geriatrics, in addition
to limited paramedical personal trained in the field.
The Middle East Academy for Medicine of
Ageing was founded in 2002 to stimulate the development
of health care services for older people in the region.
It was established by a number of professors and teachers
from the Middle East and Europe. The Model of MEAMA was
taken from the European Academy for Medicine of Ageing
(EAMA). The mission of MEAMA is to create a hub for education
and training in the field of ageing in the Middle East.
Abyad Medical Center and Middle East Longevity
Institute were instrumental in organizing the first course
of the MEAMA. Over the previous years, several reputable
official governmental, regional and international organisations
helped in the development of the academy including The
Health Ministers' Council for the Cooperation Council
States, Ministry of Health in Bahrain, The European Academy
for Medicine of Ageing, The European Union of Geriatric
Medicine Society, the Geriatric Medicine Section of the
European Union of Medical Specialists, the International
Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, medi+WORLD
International, Multimedia Medical University, Al Jinan
University, Azm & Saade Association, Hamad Medical
Corporation, National Guard National Guard Health Affairs
-King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences
and others.
