Bridging the Socio-Economic Gap in Medical Science Education

---

The exorbitance of the cost of pursuing medical science education has inarguably discouraged some potentially genius medical scientists, physicians, and researchers from realizing their medical profession potential, largely due to their socio-economic backgrounds as students from low-income under-privileged communities who lack the financial resources to undertake the course. 

The McGodfred Foundation's mission is to assist some of these students to successfully complete their medical education courses through the Foundation's various student assistance programs.

Medical Universities and Colleges in under-privileged and low-income communities sometimes struggle to attract needed financial assistance to upgrade and modernize their technologies, systems, equipment, and vital medical devices pertinent to the teaching and learning of medical science. In developing countries of Africa, Asia, the Carribean, Eastern Europe, and South America where most universities and colleges are funded by the central government, some of these countries are unable to adequately provide the needed funding to their institutions of higher education due to their national budgetary constraints,

The McGodfred Foundation, as a non-governmental philanthropic organization develops strategic partnerships with selected medical universities and colleges that meet the Foundation's qualification criteria for becoming institutional beneficiaries of funding to develop and upgrade their medical schools.

Supporting and providing funding assistance into medical researches that will result in better healthcare for the human brain, eyes, and heart is the philanthropic niche of the McGodfred Foundation. These three vital human organs are the purpose for which the McGodfred Foundation exists, and our mission is to make the needed investment in all of their aspects, focusing more of our efforts in low-income and under-privileged communities around the world.

The Foundation works with its partner medical universities and colleges by building medical research facilities to accomplish these goals. Research projects that meet the Foundation's funding requirements are fully supported and funded. 

Community healthcare systems are crucial in the overall objectives of the McGodfred Foundation, in that, McGodfred Foundation-assisted physicians are placed back in their communities to provide quality healthcare services to the members of the communities. 

The Foundation has different models to achieve this objective, and where necessary, the Foundation collaborates with national governments or local authorities to improve the infrastructure of existing hospitals or develop new ones that fit the purpose of the Foundation's investment.
