The Alumni Club of the Faculty of Medicine and Allied Medical Sciences at An-Najah National University serves as a lifelong professional and personal connection between graduates, the faculty, and the wider medical community. Our purpose is to maintain strong ties with our alumni, celebrate their achievements, and create an active medical network that supports continued education, mentorship, and collaboration. We aim to build a space where graduates can stay engaged with their university community no matter where their careers take them.
The Alumni Club also plays an important role in giving back to current students and supporting the advancement of medical education at An-Najah National University. Through mentorship programs, community initiatives, scholarship opportunities, and alumni contributions, we hope to strengthen healthcare capacity in Palestine and beyond. Our board includes dedicated alumni representatives who help lead activities, organize events, and ensure meaningful engagement for all members.
