One hallmark of the current MSA administration has been its deliberate effort to establish strategic partnerships that strengthen student support systems and enhance institutional presence within the broader healthcare and academic environment.
Among the most impactful achievements is the partnership with the UCC Hospital Ambulance Unit, which now provides critical emergency support for medical students in need. This important collaboration enhances student safety and ensures timely access to emergency medical services.
The Association also secured a valuable partnership with the OKB Foundation to support activities during Health Week, enabling broader engagement and a more resource-rich celebration. In a landmark achievement, the MSA collaborated with the University Health and Medical Students (UHMS) to launch the first-ever Joint Health Festival, promoting teamwork, community health, and unified student involvement.
Further strengthening medical safety and preparedness, the Association obtained a formal partnership with the CCTH Blood Bank to ensure reserved blood units for medical students during emergencies. This initiative directly improves student welfare and promotes a proactive approach to health security.
Finally, the Association secured an operational partnership with GHACEM Cement, enabling support for future infrastructural and developmental projects through material provisions.
These partnerships demonstrate the administration’s focus on sustainability, institutional strengthening, and long-term impact. By building meaningful collaborations with health institutions, corporate organizations, and student bodies, the MSA has laid a foundation for continued growth and enhanced support for all medical students.
