I would like to express our deep heartfelt thanks to the RMBF for the generous grant given to us. It will be a great help managing practically over the next couple of months.

All through this tough time, whenever I spoke to you,I heard a very kind voice and I got a very timely help. Best wishes.

Many thanks once again for your assistance to help me through medical school! I will be sure to make a donation to the fund once I have paid back the amount I owe.

I would like to express our deep heartfelt thanks to the RMBF for the generous grant given to us. It will be a great help managing practically over the next couple of months.

The last couple of years have been a long and lonely journey as our lives have been affected by my deteriorating vision and difficulties that have ensued. The understanding of the RMBF as well as the financial help is appreciated.

The RMBF provides support for doctors and their families through all stages of their career and beyond. Our help ranges from financial assistance in the form of grants and loans to a telephone befriending scheme for those who may be isolated and in need of support.

Nobody is immune to misfortune and each individual’s need is different. Applicants are assessed in confidence and according to their needs, creating a tailored package of support.

The RMBF is committed to leading the way in providing support and advice to members of the medical profession and their dependants in times of crisis and serious need. As the medical profession continues to change, we will be ready to meet new and emerging needs.
