From our CEO
|
|
|
|
|
As we enter this season of Giving — with Giving Tuesday and Christmas round the corner — we at QMed are working toward a meaningful milestone: raising Rs 15,00,000 to support 15 deserving institutions.
|
We wish to impact 15 institutions in 2026.Empower them with correct literature searching & referencing skills. Two skills which will majorly impact public health. Healthcare that everyone of us (even doctors, nurses and professionals themselves) deserves.
|
When we say "deserving institutions" we mean institutions that will commit to not just learning from us, but making sure that the majority in the institution use our training to the best! We will get their commitment and then only give support with funds we raise.
|
This year, the most impactful way to support us is by donating
|
- 👉 https://goto.gg/14455 — Take care to note the "dates and time"
🕒 December 2, 2025, 00:00:00 EST to December 3, 2025, 12:00:00 EST
Donations made during this exact window earn QMed a matching incentive (about 50%) — multiplying the value of your gift.
(Note: Requires an international credit card. Tax benefits apply only for US/UK donors)
- The other way to support — if you don’t have an international credit card — is by donating at:
👉 https://www.qmed.ngo/give (any time from today, till end December. The earlier the better!)
💡 For Indian donors who prefer tax benefits: we request that you first contribute whatever you can — even a small amount — at goto.gg/14455
This amount gets us a 50% add-on - multiplying your donation!
You may then make any additional tax-deductible contribution through:
👉 www.qmed.ngo/give
Together, we can strengthen India’s research ecosystem — one learner, one institution, one gift at a time.

|
Wishing you the best of the season!
