Our very own Dr. Sherif Emil, director of Paediatric General Surgery at the Montreal Children’s hospital, was recently awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal from the Government of Canada and the Governor General. Dr. Emil was honoured by Jason Kenney, the Federal Minister of Immigration, Citizenship, and Multiculturalism, for his service to patients in Canada and abroad, and his academic accomplishments in the field of pediatric surgery. He received the medal at a banquet sponsored by the Association de la Communaute Copte Orthodoxe du Grand Montreal on Sunday, September 9th.
