The Medical Students' Association of Pakistan (MSA-Pakistan) is a non-governmental organization representing associations of medical students. It was founded in May 2023 and currently maintains 29 Local Councils from 29 Institutes around.
History[edit]
In May 2023, After failure of all attempts to restore the integrity of IFMSA-Pakistan, 18 Local Councils dissociated themselves from IFMSA-Pakistan and Joined to establish a new organization to represent Pakistani Medical Students internationally.
Activities[edit]
The main activities of IFMSA are student exchanges and different projects. Around 3000+ medical students each year participate in international medical student exchanges, both professional and academic (research). MSA-Pakistan organizes projects, programs, seminars and workshops on areas of public health, medical education, reproductive health and human rights and peace.
Organization[edit]
All activities of the IFMSA are linked to one of its six standing committees, which are:
- Standing Committee on Medical Education (SCOME)
- Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE)
- Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE)
- Standing Committee on Public Health (SCOPH)
- Standing Committee on Sexual & Reproductive Health and Rights including HIV & AIDS (SCORA)
- Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace (SCORP)
Structure[edit]
To be able to work together, MSA-Pakistan has created an organizational structure, which facilitates the flow of ideas and enables the development of activities.
MSA-Pakistan is an Association of local councils representing different institutes.
The decision-making process is in the hands of the National General Assembly, the executive process is in the hands of the National Executive Board and the controlling power is in the hands of the Supervising Council.
The National General Assembly (NGA) is composed of representatives of all LC's, and meets once a year at least. The National General Assembly decides the activities of MSA-Pakistan, the regulations, and the management and elects the Team of Officials and the Supervising Council.
The National General Assembly elects the Team of Officials (TO) each year. It is composed of the executive board (EB), Standing Committee National Officers. The executive board is responsible for the daily management of the Association and deals with issues such as fundraising, marketing, external relations, finances, administration, development and support to Local Councils.
Standing Committee National Officers are assigned to one field of activities. They coordinate the Standing Committee, which carries out these activities. They give support to local officers, prepare the meetings of the Standing Committee and are responsible for the development of new activities.
Liaison Officers maintain contact with important external relations and represent MSA Pakistan towards those organizations.
The Supervising Council is elected by the General Assembly to evaluate and supervise the work of the IFMSA officials and undertakes actions in case problems arise.
Presidents[edit]
- 2022–2023 – Rana Muhammad Ahsan – Rahimyarkhan – Deraa Gazi Khan Medical College Rahimyarkhan, Punjab
- 2023-2024 - Haram Altaf Rana - Faisalabad – Faisalabad Medical University Faisalabad, Punjab
Meetings[edit]
National General Assemblies[edit]
Atleast once a year, the delegations of the LC's of MSA Pakistan get together at the MSA Pakistan Natioanl General Assemblies. The NGA bring together several hundred (600–900) medical students from all around the Pakistan. During the seven days of the meetings, the delegates discuss matters of the Federation and make valuable contacts for their organizations.
The National General Assembly remains the highest decision-making body of the Association although the actual program of the meeting has developed into a mixture of training, planning and evaluation sessions in between the legislative Plenary Sessions. The work in the Standing Committees of MSA Pakistan is the essence for most delegates: signing contracts, presenting and planning projects are all in a day's work for the National Officers from the participating organizations. An extensive Training and Resource Development component has been integrated in the program, providing the participants with new skills needed in their work, but seldom found in the regular University curriculum: Lobbying Skills, Group Dynamics and Strategic Planning to name a few.
