COVID-19 pandemic crisis and loss of many precious lives have compelled us to leave with no option other than to release an appeal to fund-raising for the noble cause of serving Jamia fraternity and humanity as a whole. I am confident that Jamia teachers, alumni, and fellow citizens who want to support Jamia will contribute with an openheart and actively take part to translate this dream into a reality.”
Prof Nafis Ahmad, Vice-President of JTA says this is the need of the hour, “Once ready, Jamia hospital will be operated in a manner to practice high-quality medical and health care.
