Bahraini Dr Fawzi Amin has been appointed delegation head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies – the world’s largest humanitarian network.
He is the first Bahraini and GCC national to hold this position since the delegation’s establishment in the Jordanian capital Amman in 1980s. It has been based in Dubai since 2012.
Dr Amin will take up his new duties next month in his office at the delegation’s headquarters in Dubai.
Dr Amin is responsible for co-ordination between Red Crescent Societies in the GCC. He will implement joint training programmes, and organise co-operation to respond to federation’s calls on disaster relief cases around the world.
Dr Amin will also work to strengthen the implementation of relief operations to assist disaster victims.
Dr Amin joined the Bahrain Red Crescent Society in 1980, and served as chairman of the first aid committee for several years. Later, he was elected as a member of the board of directors of the society. In 2012 he was named secretary general of the society.
