About IMAN

IMAN-Islamic Medical Association of the Philippines, Inc. was conceptualized in July 2007 by a group of Muslim Physicians who saw the need for the creation of an organization catering primarily to the health needs of the ever-expanding community of Muslims in the country not only in Mindanao but including Luzon and Visayas.
