Rooted in Rawalpindi,
serving the world.

Our story

A promise that crossed
oceans

What began as a handful of Rawalpindi Medical College graduates gathering in North America has grown into one of the most active medical alumni associations on the continent. United by a shared training and a deep sense of gratitude, RMCAANA members set out to give back — to their college, their juniors, and the patients of Pakistan.

Today, RMCAANA funds scholarships and interest-free loans, equips hospitals with modern instruments, and mentors young physicians navigating residency abroad. Every initiative carries forward the same founding belief: that those who were given the gift of a medical education have a duty to pass it on.

Who we are

A lifelong network built
on service & solidarity.

Founded by graduates of Rawalpindi Medical College, RMCAANA

turning shared roots into real impact for students, patients, and
communities back home.

  • Scholarships & interest-free loans for medical students in need
