Dr. Salah Azaiez

Some national and media figures have not received the historical recognition they deserve, despite their achievements, sacrifices, and dedication to their country and humanity. Dr. Salem Aziz is one of these forgotten national figures, absent from collective memory for decades, despite his remarkable contributions to medicine and surgery. He played a key role in supporting the national resistance during the colonial era and helped promote Tunisia’s image abroad while it was still under occupation. His exceptional talent and intelligence make him a prominent figure in the medical field. Dr. Salem Aziz’s career was marked by significant achievements. He was the first Muslim Tunisian surgeon and the first to successfully perform breast cancer surgery. This upcoming visual documentary will be dedicated to his life and career, aiming to shed light on this extraordinary figure despite the scarcity of information, testimonials, and archival documents about him. After years of research, we have managed to gather a wealth of data, documents, and rare photographs tracing his journey. This in-depth and meticulous investigation will serve as the foundation for a documentary that does justice to his invaluable contributions to Tunisia and humanity. We have worked extensively to collect as much rare and significant information as possible to enrich a documentary that will, for the first time, reveal unknown aspects of Dr. Salem Aziz’s life: his childhood, his studies in Tunisia and France, his return to Tunisia, his marriage, his scientific and medical achievements, his role in the resistance against French colonization, and the circumstances of his passing and funeral. This documentary on Salem Aziz will be rich in content, featuring exclusive documents and photographs that will provide a unique insight into his extraordinary journey.
