Third Anniversary of QMed Knowledge Foundation

QMed Knowledge Foundation completed three years of existence as on the 19th of December 2010.  In the last two years, for our Anniversary Celebration event, we had panel discussions on specific themes.

This year we had our Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, 29 January 2011 at the Quest Foundation Wellness Centre, Sion. Our theme for this year was "Bringing Students and Health Science Libraries Closer", and we had announced an Essay Competition on the theme.

Our CEO, Mrs. Vasumathi Sriganesh welcomed the gathering with QMedKF's Third Year Highlights. Following this, we had a panel discussion amongst students on the topic "Bringing Students and Health Science Libraries Closer". Read the transcript of the panel discussion
