End Note: The Secretariat is still young as compared to the Society itself. It is still undergoing changes in order to be of constant relevance to the student's population in NUS. However, the Secretariat is ensuring that the training and activities is in line with the vision and mission of NUSMS. She serves as a complement to the Human Enrichment Secretariat and support for the other secretariats in NUSMS and NUSMCS. May ALLAH s.w.t. bless and guide this Secretariat and her Prime movers in their efforts to reach to their fullest potential. INSYA-ALLAH.
