Why do we need to raise funds?

Medics2Mongolia is run as a charitable organisation by busy doctors in their free time. Like most other charitable organisations we rely on fundraising efforts and the donations of those who share an interest in the work we do to keep M2M running smoothly.

The running of M2M by doctors as volunteers allows for all the money raised for M2M to be channeled back directly into the efforts of the charity itself. Funds are used for things such as website upkeep, legal fees and essential expenses – allowing the charity to continue working as normal and keeping the medical elective & education programme running. We are very careful to keep costs low and are committed to responsibility and accountability with how our funds are handled.

Any surplus funding is put into a fund, which we hope will eventually be used to contribute to local and national projects in Mongolia, helping Mongolian doctors and students to continue to learn English, subsidise our electives for UK students who might otherwise be unable to afford an enriching elective abroad, and provide opportunities for the best and brightest Mongolian medical students to come to the UK and experience the work of our healthcare system for themselves.

One particular charity we work very closely with is GoHelp who are committed to working with local communities in Central Asia to improve their access to education and healthcare services.
