ABOUT RAHUL SINGH
Rahul Singh founded the David McAntony Gibson Foundation (GlobalMedic) in 1999 to honour the memory of his best friend who tragically lost his life in 1998. In just 11 years, Singh’s tireless efforts have resulted in a globally recognized, innovative and efficient organization. He has personally led over 30 GlobalMedic missions around the world.
Singh has been a professional emergency worker since 1988. Currently he serves the citizens of Toronto as a frontline Paramedic. Singh has also worked on capacity building missions for the UN. Combining a passion for humanitarian assistance with a frontline emergency perspective, Singh created GlobalMedic’s unique operational mandate of providing efficient and cost effective disaster relief in the immediate aftermath of a catastrophe with professional emergency workers.
