LEADERSHIP
A Letter from Our Founders
We are delighted to welcome you to the MEDIC Foundation! Our journey began with a shared commitment to addressing chronic medical conditions, inspired by our personal experiences with these challenges.
Anjali has grown up seeing her grandmother and mother living with chronic conditions. Being personally impacted by this, she made it her mission to make a difference in the lives of individuals with chronic conditions. After joining the School of Biomedical Engineering, she met with Madhini who spoke about losing her relatives to cancer back in Sri Lanka due to the chemicals used during the civil war, which mutually sparked her passion for improving the lives of those affected by chronic conditions.
After months of hard work and encouragement from the faculty, we co-founded the MEDIC Foundation, a non-profit incorporated society in BC.
With the help of faculty mentors and Principal Investigators across UBC, our team has successfully undertaken diverse projects targeted at chronic conditions. As we continue to grow, we are excited about the future and the opportunities ahead to revolutionize healthcare and improve lives.
Together, we strive to revolutionize the approach to chronic diseases and improve the quality of life for all.
