"It brings such a sense of relief to talk about something you went through, to share it with people who lived through the very same experience." Not every wound is visible. But every wound needs treatment. In Syria, MedGlobal - with the support of Humaniti - is providing mental health support to former detainees. Watch to see how that support is changing their lives.

“The resilience of the people here is incredible.” After a week in Yemen with MedGlobal, Dr. Maliha Sayla, a MedGlobal volunteer and OB-GYN from Chicago, reflects on an experience that left a lasting impression. Working alongside Yemeni doctors, specialists, and residents in maternity wards, operating rooms, and the obstetric ICU, Dr. Sayla witnessed firsthand the extraordinary skill, dedication, and resilience of local healthcare professionals. Despite the immense challenges facing Yemen’s healthcare system, these teams continue to provide lifesaving care to mothers and newborns every day. At MedGlobal, we believe in standing alongside local healthcare workers, sharing knowledge, strengthening capacity, and supporting those who continue to serve their communities. We need your support.

What happens when people come together for a greater purpose? At MedGlobal’s 2026 Annual Conference & Gala in Chicago, we witnessed the power of bringing people together, not just to discuss the world’s most pressing health challenges, but to do something about them. Over two unforgettable days, ideas turned into partnerships, conversations sparked action, and generosity helped strengthen our mission to deliver lifesaving healthcare to communities in need. From thought-provoking discussions and the launch of new collaborations to an inspiring evening celebrating humanitarian leadership, compassion, and giving, every moment reminded us why this work matters. To our speakers, sponsors, partners, donors, volunteers, and everyone who joined us from around the world: thank you for believing in our mission and helping make these two days possible. As we look back on the highlights, we’re even more excited about what we can accomplish together. The event may be over, but the impact of coming together is only beginning. #CollaborationForGood #MedGlobal #GlobalHealth #HumanitarianAction #MedGlobal2026

A Conference That Led to Action: Introducing the Global Coalition for Sudan One of the most significant outcomes of MedGlobal’s 2026 Conference & Gala was the launch of the Global Coalition for Sudan, bringing together seven humanitarian and faith-based organizations with one shared mission: strengthening the humanitarian response to Sudan’s devastating crisis. Founded by MedGlobal, SAPA, Humaniti, MedSudan, Africa Relief, Multi-Faith Neighbors Network, and GlocalNet, the coalition was officially launched in the presence of H.E. Professor Haitham Mohamed Ibrahim, Federal Minister of Health of Sudan, and his delegation. Through stronger coordination, information-sharing, joint humanitarian efforts, and advocacy, the coalition aims to bring organizations together to support Sudan’s response and recovery, with a goal of growing to more than 50 participating organizations over the next year. This is what Collaboration for Good looks like in action. Moving beyond conversations, building meaningful partnerships, and working together to make a lasting difference for the people of Sudan. #MedGlobal #GlobalCoalitionForSudan #Sudan #SudanCrisis #HumanitarianAction #CollaborationForGood #MedGlobal2026
