On October 27, 2024, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V, (may Allah be his Helper) delivered the keynote address at the International Conference of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Medical Association (AMMA). Over 250 members of the Association from around the world attended the event that took place at Masroor Hall in Islamabad, Tilford, Surrey, UK.
In his address, Huzoor-e-Anwar (may Allah be his Helper) reflected on the current geo-political situation of the world and how Ahmadi Muslim medical professionals must make plans to serve humanity, even in the worst of circumstances. He said:
“The world’s geo-political situation is extremely precarious and we are living in a time of grave uncertainty. Conflicts and wars are rapidly escalating and, if, God forbid, a world war erupts, the resulting humanitarian crisis would be of an unimaginable scale. While we continue to pray that such a war may be averted, we must also ensure that we have planned for all eventualities.”
He further stated:
“Therefore, I urge our Medical Associations in the United States and elsewhere to proactively develop comprehensive contingency plans. They should detail how our Ahmadi Muslim doctors and medical teams could efficiently utilize their skills and expertise to serve humanity in the event of a global crisis.”
