[edit] Family Background and Education
Daoud Hanania was born into a Greek Orthodox Christian Palestinian family. His father, Anistas, was a lawyer and politician. Daoud's mother, Claire, was from the Nashawati family of Syria. The Hananias lived in West Jerusalem until 1948. In the early 1950s they moved to Amman, where Anistas came to hold several cabinet positions in the Jordanian government, including Foreign Minister [1], Minister of Justice [2], Minister for Refugees and Minister of Finance [3]. He was also Jordan's Ambassador to Great Britain from 1960-1966 and a Senator from 1968 to 1989 in Jordan's Upper House of Parliament.
After completing his primary and secondary education in Jerusalem at al-Ummah College and the College des Frères, Daoud Hanania joined the Jordanian army at age 17. He was sent on a military scholarship to study medicine in England in 1951. Hanania earned his M.B.B.S. medical degree from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School of the University of London in 1957 (St. Mary's has since been incorporated into Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, also at the University of London).
Hanania subsequently became House Surgeon and Surgical Registrar at the Royal Northern Hospital in London from 1959-1961. He specialized in cardiovascular surgery and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1961 (F.R.C.S.), the American College of Surgeons in 1971 (F.A.C.S.), the American College of Cardiology in 1977 (F.A.C.C.), the International College of Angiology in 1979 (F.I.C.A.) and the Royal Society of Medicine in 1980. He also became an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1980 (Hon. F.R.C.S.I.), the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 1988 (Hon. F.R.C.S. Glasg) and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1989.
Hanania trained under Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Denton Cooley in Houston, Texas in the late 1960s while he was a Fellow in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Baylor University College of Medicine.
[edit] Career
Daoud Hanania performed the first open-heart surgery procedure in Jordan in 1970, the first heart-valve replacement in the country in 1972 as well as the first kidney transplant in the Arab world in the same year and the first coronary artery bypass in Jordan in 1973 and in Iraq some years later. But his most important achievement came in 1985 after performing the first ever successful cardiac transplant in the Middle East at the King Hussein Medical Center in Amman, Jordan.
On the administrative level, Hanania was the Director of the King Hussein Medical Center (KHMC) from 1973-1976. He then became Director of the Royal Medical Services of the Jordan Armed Forces from 1976-1988. He was also Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at KHMC from 1973-1992 and the Director General of the National Medical Institution from 1987-1989.
After retiring from active army duty with the military rank of Lt. General in 1989 (the highest rank attained by a physician in the Jordanian army), Hanania served two terms as a Senator in Jordan's Upper House of Parliament from 1989-1997 and was president of the Jordan Cardiac Society and the Arab Cardiac Society from 1988-1990.
He also became Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Jordan University of Science and Technology in 1989.
Hanania then played a leading role in the founding of the Arab Center for Heart and Special Surgery (now re-named the Arab Medical Center), an institution he directed from 1991-1999.
Today, Hanania has a private practice. He sees patients regularly at the new Hanania Center in Amman and performs cardiovascular surgery operations mostly at the Arab Medical Center and the Khalidi Medical Center and occasionally at the Islamic Hospital and the Amman Surgical Hospital.
He was appointed as a member of the Board of Trustees of the King Hussein Foundation in 1999 and elected President for Life of the Jordan Cardiothoracic Society in 2005. He is also on the Board of Trustees of al-Quds University and a member of both the Denton A. Cooley Cardiovascular Society and the Michael E. DeBakey International Cardiovascular Society.
[edit] Awards
Hanania was awarded an Honorary Knighthood of the British Empire (KBE Mil. Hon) by Queen Elizabeth II in 1984, the Legion D'Honneur by François Mitterrand also in 1984, the Nile Medal First Class of Sudan in 1986, the Insignia of the Commander (First Class) of the Royal Swedish Order by King Carl Gustaf in 1989 and the Medal of the Banner/Bright Star of Taiwan. He was also the first Arab physician to receive the Ben Qurrah Award of the Arab-American-Medical Association-Houston in 1998 for Excellence in Medicine.
He also holds the seven major state decorations in Jordan, the highest being the al-Nahda Medal of the First Order which he received from King Hussein in 1994.
[edit] Family, Friendships and Interests
Daoud Hanania married Nada Hanania (née Pio) in 1974. They have four children.
Hanania was a lifelong friend of the late King Hussein [4] and the late Prince Zeid Bin Shaker, whom he met while the three were students in England.
He enjoys reading and automobile racing. He is also a tennis enthusiast, having served several terms as President of the Jordan Tennis Federation, during which time Jordan entered Davis Cup competition for the first time.
