From The Founder

Why Dr. Akram Ahmad came up with this Global Healthcare Scholarship Programme?

Hailing from a small town in Uttar Pradesh, Sahaswan, Dr. Akram had to face difficulties throughout his career journey. In his own words,

Electricity was a luxury. My four brothers and I studied under lanterns and streetlights while helping our farmer father in the fields. My mother sold her jewellery to fund my education, a sacrifice that still moves me.

Despite earning a PhD from the University of Sydney and working in Malaysia, I witnessed skilled doctors, pharmacists, dentists, and physiotherapists struggling abroad, often driving Uber or unable to pursue licensing pathways due to limited funds and awareness. That's when the idea of a scholarship was born.
