Preamble

We, the medical students of Bangladesh, dreamed of a nation free of sickness. We realize that we

can do more for people. But there was always a lack of networking among the medical students of

Bangladesh Through formal organization, we can be networked and benefit not only ourcommunities but also ourselves. It is for this reason that we establish the Bangladesh Medical

Students Society.

The Bangladesh Medical Students Society is dedicated to the improvement of health care and health

care delivery system as well as medical education, so that health care may become more personal

and holistic in a world of increasing technology and efficiency. We define health as a positive,

dynamic state of physical, mental and social well-being, and therefore, believe that health care

should be oriented toward the achievement of health and not solely a treatment of disease.

As a developing country we believe that access to health care is a right, not a privilege. This implies

equal access to equally standards of health care regardless of economic status, political beliefs,cultural background, geographic position, race, creed, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation

and gender identity, physical handicap, mental handicap or institutionalization for criminal, medical

or psychiatric reasons. Since resources are limited, they should be allocated so that they equitably

promote the public health; and thus to upgrade the integrity of the medical education for the

betterment of the country. In all aspects of its function, this society will emphasize integrity,

equality, ethics and competence for medical students in the world.
