IMG Unity is a global movement of medical students and graduates committed to creating a future where all vulnerable patients have access to essential medical care. United by our belief in global health equity, we recognize that each of us holds the power to make a difference in the world.

What We Believe

Every individual possesses an inherent right to access essential healthcare services. This fundamental right forms the cornerstone of a just and equitable society, where the well-being and dignity of every person are upheld. Regardless of socioeconomic status, geographical location, or any other defining characteristic, the assurance of essential healthcare services ensures that no one is left behind or deprived of their basic needs. It is through the recognition and fulfillment of this right that we strive to foster a world where health disparities are minimized, and every individual can lead a life of health, dignity, and opportunity.

 

Our Vision

Our vision is of a world where every individual can access essential healthcare, supported by both current and future physicians dedicated to achieving global health equity for generations to come.
