The Association of Medical and Pediatric Oncologists of Kerala (AMPOK) stands out as a commendable organization within the medical landscape of Kerala. AMPOK has established itself as more than just a professional association; it is a community deeply committed to both the advancement of medical expertise and fulfilling social responsibilities.
The association, founded in 2017, boasts over 100 dedicated members across Kerala, forming a network of the finest medical and paediatric oncologists in the region. What sets AMPOK apart is its dual commitment: not only does it strive to elevate the standards of medical care through regular CME’s, but it also actively engages in various social responsibility endeavours that extend to all corners of Kerala.
One notable instance of this commitment to social responsibility is AMPOK's contribution to 2018 flood relief funds. This action exemplifies a dedication to corporate social responsibility, recognizing the organization's role in supporting communities during times of crisis. AMPOK's involvement in awareness camps and the organization of yearly conferences further emphasizes its commitment to community well-being.
The hosting of the 38th ICON national conference in Kochi stands as a significant achievement. This event demonstrated the organization's capability to bring together professionals and experts in the field, fostering knowledge exchange and contributing to the overall growth of the medical community. AMPOK has been organising monthly online Post Graduate training sessions for the past two years. It is an event which has received appreciation from oncology students across India.
AMPOK is taking a proactive step to support the well-being of its members by offering a professional indemnity service to its members. Geographically dispersed, AMPOK's impact is felt across South zone, North zone, and central zone, with members actively contributing to social activities that resonate with the diverse needs of the communities they serve. This broad outreach ensures that the benefits of AMPOK's efforts are accessible to a wide range of people, promoting inclusivity and holistic healthcare. In the delicate balance between medical excellence and social compassion, AMPOK emerges as more than just an association; it stands as a guiding force, a testament to the transformative power of unity in healthcare.
