It’s not every day you get an email from the family of Muhammad Ali, so when Sydney doctor Daniel Nour did, he was sceptical.
When Sydney doctor Dr Daniel Nour received an email from the estate of late boxing legend Muhammad Ali, he couldn’t believe it. So, he didn’t.
“It was when the general manager added me on LinkedIn and sent the same message that I thought: this might actually be legit,” he said. He is the first Australian to be recognised since the awards began in 2013. Previous recipients include infectious diseases expert Dr Anthony Fauci and war correspondent Ann Curry, and Ali’s wife, Lonnie Ali, is involved in selecting the winners on behalf of the not-for-profit organisation she founded in her late husband’s name in 2005.Nour will give an address to the room about his work.
When Nour won Young Australian of the Year in 2022, Street Side Medics had a team of 250 volunteers. Now, that figure is 600. The organisation’s four vans have tripled across NSW, with a Melbourne branch planned “in the next few months”. Nour is also working on a medical school unit for his alma mater, James Cook University, on providing care to people experiencing homelessness.
‘There’s nothing special about me ... but with a number of other people we’ve built something amazing.’Jokingly calling the discipline “plumbing and electricals”, he was drawn to cardiology because of the ability to be a physician and engage with patients, but also to do intervention.
