AMSA-Philippines supports Renzo Guinto for IFMSA Presidency!

The Asian Medical Students' Association - Philippines largely encourages medical students part of the International Federation of Medical Students to vote for an IFMSA that is "For IFMSA, By IFMSA" and works "towards a new global health future!"

We fully support Renzo Guinto, former president of AMSA-Philippines and currently IFMSA's Regional Coordinator for Asia and the Pacific, in his bid to become the first Filipino and the third Asian President of the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations and lead 1.2 million medical students in 106 national member organizations from 99 countries to a clear and concrete plan to improve and enhance IFMSA's role in responding to the health needs and inequities of the world.

Let us maximize the unique position of IFMSA as the biggest international organization of medical students and work together to make the Federation a respected leader in global health! Let the voiceless peoples of the world be heard and let us combat health inequities together!

Support Renzo Guinto and the vision to make IFMSA a global health leader!
