Professor Nick Maynard (WL 1975-79) has been awarded one of the first-ever Humanitarian Medals by His Majesty King Charles III. He was presented the medal at a ceremony on 18 February 2025 at Buckingham Palace.
The medal, first announced in January 2025, is awarded to those in public service and members of humanitarian organisations, such as charities, who respond in support of human welfare during or in the aftermath of a crisis. This includes providing disaster relief or aid provision in hazardous circumstances such as conflict zones.
Nick is an Oxford based surgeon who was the Clinical Lead for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)'s first EMT mission into Gaza in December 2023. He has since returned to Gaza and actively advocates for Palestinian rights to health and dignity.
31 individuals were awarded from numerous organisations and charities including the PCDO Humanitarian Response Group, the Global Diversity Foundation and Medical Aid for Palestinians.
A huge congratulations to Nick for this amazing achievement!
