Mami was the first doctor specialist in Tunisia who was also the personal doctor of the Bey, or the equivalent of the king before Tunisia turned into a republic. Mami was known for his benevolent work for the poor and his active participation to plot against the French authorities who were in control of the country. He soon became a target and was eventually assassinated by the French terrorist organization La Main Rouge at July 13, 1954.[1][2][3][4]
Today there are several streets, avenues and hospitals named after Mami.
