For Healthcare Professionals: Improving the Quality of Life of the Jamat through Mediation

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24 2020 - 5:00PM PT / 6:00PM MT / 8:00PM ET

As an Ismaili Health Professional, how can you play a role in helping to improve the quality of life of the Jamat through mediation? All Ismaili Health Professionals are encouraged to attend this informative and educational webinar that aims to create awareness of CAB's services and provide the tools needed to act as ambassadors for CAB within the Jamat.

Disputes in the Jamat can have significant financial and human costs. The Conciliation and Arbitration Board (CAB) is an International Ismaili Institution that has been in existence since 1987, but the historical and ethical foundation of CAB's method - amicable conflict resolution, has over 1400 years of tradition. CAB was created to provide mediation services to members of the Jamat to resolve disputes within the community without unnecessary, time-consuming, expensive and destructive litigation.

The panelists include:

Anar Alibhai - Member, Conciliation and Arbitration Board, Canada (moderator)
Alnawaz Nanji - Chairman, Conciliation and Arbitration Board, Canada
Zahir Bhanji - Chairman, Conciliation and Arbitration Board, Ontario

Our First Healthcare Hero

Name: Salima Ismail

Profession: Registered Nurse

Location: Edmonton, AB.

Healthcare Hero Salima Ismail is a Critical Care Nurse and Certified Nurse Educator in Edmonton, Alberta. During the different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, Salima has helped to support and manage pandemic planning at the University of Alberta Hospital for the Adult Critical Care Unit. Outside of her Nursing role, Salima also spent time calling Jamati members during the COVID-19 pandemic to support our community. In her Nursing role, Salima has been a lead on Connect Care implementation at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, a Nurse Educator, and a Unit Manager in Critical Care. Salima’s greatest lesson from this time has been the importance of family and friends, and to not take your relationships for granted.

The Five to Thrive Program

Over the coming weeks, we will be launching a chronic disease prevention campaign. The "Five to Thrive," introduces five, easy to implement strategies that can help the Jamat lead a healthier life, by harnessing strategies that may prevent and reduce the risk and impact of chronic disease. These preventative strategies are simple, affordable, accessible, measurable and can be implemented quickly by everyone.
