Our goals

Internationalization brings Global Health closer to home. Borders mean less and less, health care is met with new challenges. From 1980 onwards, IFMSA-NL has been the defining international platform for medical and other studens in the Netherlands for creating initiatives focussing on awareness of and improvements in Global Health in our society, as well as personal development for future professional in and around health care. We provide students with early experience with Global Health through projects, meetings and international exchanges. IFMSA-NL is present in all eight universities with medical faculties in the Netherlands. With around a 1000 student volunteers, we reach over 7000 students yearly. We enable our volunteers and others to use, share and improve upon their knowledge and skills for the greater good.
