About the Cause
The Leave No Medic Behind (LNMB) initiative primarily focuses on fundraising to cover tuition fees, accommodation, and meals for medical students in need.
The initiative started in 2017 as a small-scale fundraising effort among students, inspired by the legacy of the late Prof. Hassan Saidi.
Since then, it has grown into larger events such as the Annual Charity Run, which began in 2022.
This event not only raises significant funds but also brings together students, lecturers, and well-wishers in a collective effort to ensure that no medic is left behind.
