IMAN Phil – Pocari Sweat Ramadan Caravan 1447 / 2026

By Maymona Choudry

In the spirit of compassion, generosity, and service that defines the blessed month of Ramadan, the Islamic Medical Association of the Philippines (IMAN Phil) proudly launches the IMAN Phil – Pocari Sweat Ramadan Caravan 1447 / 2026.

Continuing a meaningful tradition, IMAN Phil once again partners with our long-standing supporter, Pocari Sweat Philippines, to bring health, hydration, and hope to fasting communities across the country.

Supporting Communities During Ramadan

Ramadan is a time for reflection, compassion, and unity. Through the Ramadan Caravan, IMAN Phil aims to support our brothers and sisters who are observing the fast—both physically and spiritually.

Our dedicated IMAN doctors and volunteers, the driving force behind this initiative, are actively distributing Pocari Sweat hydration drinks and Iftar meals to communities. By combining medical awareness with the spirit of volunteerism, the caravan promotes proper hydration, health, and community care during this sacred month.

Nationwide Outreach

This year, the Ramadan Caravan extends its reach across the archipelago, serving communities in:

  • National Capital Region (NCR)
  • South Luzon
  • Cebu
  • Davao
  • General Santos
  • Lanao del Sur
  • Cotabato
  • Zamboanga
  • Tawi-Tawi

These initiatives are carried out in partnership with local organizations and community partners in each area, ensuring that support reaches the communities that need it most.

Strengthening Brotherhood Through Service

The Ramadan Caravan highlights the strength of collaboration and the spirit of brotherhood within the community. Through the collective efforts of our partners, volunteers, and supporters, we are able to extend the blessings of Ramadan to more people across the nation.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Pocari Sweat Philippines for their continued partnership and generosity, and to our IMAN volunteers and local partner organizations for their dedication and selfless service.

Together, we are not only sharing Iftar meals—we are spreading compassion, strengthening communities, and sharing the blessings of Ramadan, one city at a time.

Tips on taking the PSBIM

By
Assalamualaikum! Residency training in Internal Medicine takes up three years or more of our lives, which mainly involves making rounds, reporting cases, attending RTDs, and research. Taking the Philippine Specialty Board in Internal Medicine (PSBIM), however, requires diligent mastery of the Harrison’s Textbook in Internal Medicine and local Clinical Practice Guidelines, which often can be overlooked by ‘toxic’ duties, fatigued residents, or due to busy clinic schedules of internist graduates.  Reviewing for the specialty board is both challenging and exciting. Challenging, since you would need to memorize and put into heart as many data, algorithms and ‘most commons’ in the textbook. Exciting, since you discover many options on how to review for the exam such as enrolling in an online review course at the convenience of your own home or workplace and learning how to compile a separate copy of all the disease  Algorithms  you will find in the textbook.

Kudos to Dr. Al-Radjid Jamiri!

By
Surgery entails one of the toughest residency trainings especially in government institutions in the country. Withstanding 5 years of long hours in the operating room almost without sleep, saving a life as an occupation nearly 24/7, serving communities, and living far from your loved ones may be such an exhausting task to many. But Alhamdulillah, this did not tire the spirit of our IMAN Co-Founder and VP Dr. Al-Radjid Jamiri, who already completed his residency training in Surgery at the Philippine General Hospital and even topped the national residency training program in the recently held examinations.  Dr Jamiri has been an active student leader since pre-med days and has helped bring together many muslim students within the institution to come together as a family,including the Islamic Medical Association of the Phils. Without even resting for a month, he will be entering subspecialty training as a Fellow in Colorectal Surgery by January 2013 ,inshaAllah. We wish to co...
