Discrimination and inequality restrict most aspects of life’s opportunities for the needy, marginalised and disadvantaged. Often, they are often denied equal access to healthcare and education. With the intention of providing opportunities for equitable access to healthcare and education for the needy, marginalised and disadvantaged community, the IMU Foundation was established on 21 March 2011 as a non-profit organisation whose mission is to promote health and wellness in society. It was conceived by the management of IMU Education Sdn Bhd, which owns and manages the International Medical University (IMU), with the aim of enhancing and extending the corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and activities in a sustainable and structured manner.
