"I have 1000 Ambassador here in USA" Khalid Naji told the American Ambassador in Amman, Jordan who claimed that Khalid Naji has no Ambassador in America. Khalid Naji was referring to his students in USA as he believed that his students are best to represent him.

Naji was born in Baghdad in 1923 at Mahalat Ras AlQria he grew and was educated in renascent society thriving to build strong nation of highly educated generation. As a student in Baghdad medical school, he had the chance to contact his British professors who settled in Iraq during the Second World War like Rogers, Riddle and Sanderson who was the founder and the dean of Baghdad medical college in addition to being the Iraqi Royal family physician.
After graduation in 1945 he started his master study in Burns named "nerve endings growth in burn patients", a branch of surgery which had been neglected all over the world due to the poor results of treatment and low income rates for those who work in this field compared to their colleagues in other surgical fields.
Naji volunteered to work in this field and achieved magnificent success. He suggested the Baghdadi method, which entails treating burns in dry climate (which is dominant climate in Baghdad) because it gives better results than treating them in humid climate.
His last success and the most eminent was the invention of new life saving method for skin transplantation to treat wide spread burns. The method depends on slicing a piece of skin into tiny pieces, reserving it in a solution and spreading it on the depredated burned area. The method yielded good results and Naji was invited to Queens military hospital in London in early eighties to present his results.

Naji s dream was to improve the skin slicing so it works on the cellular level, which was not feasible until years later (now it is a common practice).
In one of his tours in American Hospitals Naji saw a young doctor who was examining a patient treated by Naji´s method, the doctor explained to Naji what was done and asked him where are you from? Naji said : from Iraq the doctor said I have heard that the man invented this method is an Iraqi also do you know him. Naji said: yes I know him very well (Dr.Naji destined to be another Sumerians, where his inventions are not well known for most despite that they are invaluable).
In the field of parasitology he worked extensively on the treatment and vaccination of hydatid disease (he was behind the famous saying: Hydatid disease is the cancer of Iraq).The disease was also widely spread in Australia and was controlled their by preventive measures. Naji objected that claiming that such method is Inconvenient to Iraq He went in his research and developed a medicine made of heavy metals and a vaccine. In the absence of the well equipped institute Naji tried the vaccine on a group of his students. They were converted to a sero positive after the vaccination. But the project was assassinated when Naji trip to Australia to participate in a conference dedicated to this subject was canceled by the Iraqi authorities. Naji is still hoping to find a research body to adopt this project.
In 1982 Naji and a group of his best colleagues sacked from Baghdad medical school the decision came in a period when Baghdad University was considered one of the best Universities in the middle east.
Professor Naji used to say "if Iraqi medical schools were able to graduate one Khalid Naji every year then Iraq would be well" but even the only Khalid Naji Iraq has was not allowed to continue.
Naji was allowed to resume his work an tutor in Saddam College of Medicine in the mid nineties and he is the head of medical schools supervision .
Among his encyclopedic interests Naji wrote a lot of articles in Arabic and Islamic medical History.
