The aim of our organisation is to empower medical students as future doctors to become more involved with local and global humanitarian issues. We are New Zealand’s largest social advocacy organisation for medical students and we are proud to work in partnership with a number of non-governmental organisations.

We strongly believe that a doctor’s role not only includes patient duties but is one of advocacy and instituting social change.

Our parent organisation is the Nobel peace prize laureate IPPNW – who for years have used the strong and non-political voice of doctors to lobby against war and environmental degradation.
