OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY MEDICAL STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (IFUMSA)
The MEDICAL STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION (IFUMSA) of the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University was established in 1972 as a group of individuals admitted to study Medicine and Surgery in the University of Ife(OAU).
As a conglomeration of tomorrow’s doctors to be trained in the ancient, traditional and historic town of Ife, IFUMSA has continually been an association to cater for the wellbeing of her community and members from the little resources garnered yearly from members. The association has watched herself grow from less than 200 members in the ‘70s to over 700 members in recent times and over 15,000 alumni successfully fielded all over the world!
As an affiliate member of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) through the Nigerian Medical Students’ Association (NiMSA) as well as registered member of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) and the Federation Of African Medical Students’ Association (FAMSA), we are committed to taking the good service of Medicine around the globe without any limit.
IFUMSA boasts an extensive international framework, enabling it to effectively implement health programs on a national scale. Leveraging its distinguished achievements and strategic position within both societal and national networks, the Association is poised to advance the health status of Nigerians and Africans broadly. This commitment is evidenced by its collaborations with esteemed organizations, such as [Organization Names], in the planning and execution of initiatives aimed at enhancing public health.
