Our partnerships with Hope Foundation, the Sonar Bangla Foundation, California International Agricultural Friendship Inc, IRDS, Direct Relief, the United Nations, and more drive us to continue our work in expanding access to healthcare globally.
The United Nations
Med Coalition had the distinct privilege of attending the United Nations ECOSOC 2025 Conference as a UN partner and non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing global health equity, sustainable healthcare solutions, and international medical collaboration. At this global summit, our executive board engaged in high-level discussions with the President of ECOSOC, the Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), UN Peace Ambassadors, country delegates, and the President of the International Convocation of Unitarian Universalist Women (ICUUW). These conversations centered on tackling pressing healthcare challenges, strengthening medical aid initiatives, and promoting sustainable development in underserved communities worldwide.
Representing Med Coalition in the Trustee Chamber at the UN Headquarters were the Chief Executive Officer Mafruha Esha, Chief Operating Officer Asseal Abdu, and Chief Development Officer Iftykhar Ifty, who played a vital role in advocating for policy-driven healthcare reforms and expanding access to medical resources. Their participation reinforced the importance of collaborative action in addressing healthcare disparities on a global scale. We look forward to implementing the insights gained and fostering impactful collaborations to drive meaningful change in global health.
