Muhayman Jamil

Muhayman Jamil (born 1956) is an Iraqi doctor and literary translator. He was born in Baghdad and moved to the UK in the 1990s where he currently works as a specialist in palliative medicine.

Muhayman's extra curricular activities included broadcasting a weekly show on Baghdad's FM radio station in the 1980s. More recently, he started Wheels and Wheelchairs, a small London based charity. This is based on skaters, rollerbladers and wheelchair users going out together as a group on a regular basis: http://www.wheelsandwheelchairs.co.uk & https://www.facebook.com/wheelsandwheelchairs?_rdr=p
