A group of Libyan doctors faced major hardships from ongoing wars and economic difficulties. These issues made it harder to advance professionally and turned advanced education and training into something that seemed impossible for many. Still, by God’s grace, we got the chance to train abroad and succeed.
Motivated by a strong sense of duty to our country and recognizing the urgent need to build up people in Libya’s medical field, we founded the organization
(Libyan Futurists). It focuses on supporting doctors in Libya as individuals, mentoring them, and offering the help they need.
Under Libyan Futurist, we launched the Alfarouk-Platform as one of its main projects. It aims to raise awareness, deepen theoretical knowledge, make it simpler and more practical, so doctors can use it to better serve people in Libya.
We know that knowledge comes first, followed by action, as the Almighty said: “So know that there is no god but Allah, and ask forgiveness for your sin.”
