In late 2020, Kamran Shukoor and Ibrahim Tariq realised the lack of basic health literacy which people across the world lacked, primarily those in rural, underdeveloped regions in South Asia. In response to the severe lack of literacy which has costed money, lives, and livelihoods, the two created the MediUnite Journal: an organisation aiming to promote medical knowledge to enhance basic sanitation and destigmatise certain aspects in these isolated communities. 

The organisation now hosts over 140 international volunteers, and their magasines became widely popular in Khyber Pukthunkhwa and Northern Afghanistan during COVID-19, from where MediUnite expanded to the United States and eventually Canada. 

This led to the compartmentalisation of the organisation into MediUnite Journal South Asia, and MediUnite North America, which targets more relevant information to their readers in the western hemisphere, with the highest number of readers in Chicago, Boston, Toronto, and Calgary. Today, the MediUnite Journal is headquartered in Canada, where both co-founders reside, but continue their regional operations under semi-autonomous control.

The most recent addition to the MediUnite Journal are the MediUnite Podcasts, a set of podcasts featuring prominent experts in their fields, aimed to spread awareness regarding specific issues plaguing the global healthcare world, like will there be another COVID? Is organic better? how bad is the medical illiteracy plague? or, why do healthcare systems fail?
