Medaid Collective, Local youth led organization in Northern Virginia

 Founder: Misha Rahman and Veeraj Nilak


Over the past months of 2024 Medaid Collective, a Non-profit organization based in Mclean, Virginia, has donated more than a thousand dollars in clothing, toys, and books to the Children’s National Hospital. 


They have also created sports sessions regarding safety precautions as well as injury presentations to kids in the DMV area in Virginia, to help ensure their safety.


As well as simulations so that children know how to, for example, use the correct materials in the first aid kit, how to use them properly, and their functions. 


Medaid Collective has also made a tutoring program for children to learn math, science, and english, and have simulated labs, for them to understand concepts specifically in chemistry, physics, and biology. 


They have reached about 100 students in both the program and the first aid/injury presentation making. Veeraj Nilak, the founder of medaid collective, says “connecting with the students and focusing on what they need really allowed me to develop a bigger platform to reach more students in the community.” 


On their instagram, they post and showcase all of their events, as well as videos showing feedback from the parents who sent their students to the  tutoring program



Their website showcases what they do on a broader level, as well as their leadership page, which can be reached from the link below!

  Highlighting the Global Healthcare Issues In Neurology. Neurology is the branch of medicine associated with the diagnosis and treatment of the nervous system, encompassing the brain and spinal cord. Furthermore, neurology is a paramount medical concern as it integrates physical and mental health, grasping how we behave, theorize, and recognize neurological health disorders that control our daily lives. Most importantly, everything starts with the brain — it makes us capable of functioning, executing daily habits and conversing with the people we love. Our brain should be calm, safe, and healthy. However, due to circumstances in the healthcare system, this is a privilege, rather than a basic need. In fact, this shapes the reality of many deployed soldiers, and Palestinian citizens suffering from chronic Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease. MS occurs in the central nervous system, where the body accidentally attacks itself.  Moreover, due to the low-income healthcare system lackin...

Neurosurgery Iasmina Ciocan  Neurosurgery is, as we all know, one of the most demanding medical fields, due to needing utmost precision. Here, even the tiniest mistakes bring horrible consequences. Therefore, neurosurgery requires cutting-edge technology, dedicated professionals, and tremendous financial resources. Sadly, in low- and middle-income areas, the proficiency of neurosurgical care is being brought down by numerous challenges. People could always be affected by neurosurgical conditions, no matter which country they live in, hence it is essential to address the obstacles faced in this medical field, on a global level. One of these crucial problems is the absence of trained personnel and adequate surgical equipment. Specialized neurosurgical care is mandatory for conditions like hydrocephalus, brain tumors, congenital anomalies, and spinal cord injuries. However, the growing scarcity of skilled neurosurgeons and neurosurgical facilities in some countries, means that a notab...
