Who is IMSG?

Ibadan Medical Specialists Group (IMSG) is a registered charitable organisation (UK Charities Commission number 1090030), established in 1995 by a group of UK-based medical graduates of the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan.

IMSG's objectives centre around the promotion of medical education and research in Ibadan. It's activities reflect these objectives and over the years have included various fundraising initiatives to include dinner and dance. 

Since 2005, IMSG has undertaken four fund-raising dinners in the UK on behalf of the College. Each of these events raised an average of £10,000. This has been used for the following projects:

• 2005: Projection Microscope package for Pathology Lecture Theatre, 4th Floor, Clinical Sciences Building (Installed 2006)
• 2007: Wireless network (Internet Access) system for the College of Medicine
• 2009: Projection Microscope package for the Physiology Lecture Theatre in the Pre-clinical School of the College of Medicine
• 2011: Heavy duty photocopier presented to the College on 31 October 2012.

IMSG also funds a subsidary journal, the Journal of Global Medicine. The journal aims to increase access of high-quality research to low and middle income countries. The journal was created by IMSG member Dr Funso Adedeji. The first issue, released in 2021, is available here: https://www.globalmedicine.co.uk/index.php/jogm/issue/view/1
