The consortium fulfills its role through several key pillars:

1. Promoting Excellence in Medical Education and Research

LMARC operates as a dynamic framework to foster highly qualified clinical research and superior teaching standards. It is designed to bridge the gap between academic medical knowledge and practical clinical application, aiming to improve overall patient care and healthcare system well-being. 

2. Sponsoring Specialised Medical Projects Globally

The consortium acts as a framework for long-term clinical studies and specialised project teams. For example, through initiatives like the SMC Centre for Haematological Research and Education, it oversees targeted medical research in fields such as: 

• Advances in acute myeloid leukaemia and childhood leukaemia management.
• Diagnosis and long-term treatment of haemoglobinopathies and anaemia.
• The study of emerging hematological issues within internal and surgical medicine

3. Commitment to Global Sustainability (UN 2030 Agenda)

A central pillar of the consortium's modern mandate is its alignment with international humanitarian work. LMARC explicitly supports the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It focuses its international activities on promoting: 

• Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI): Leveraging scientific advancements to solve real-world problems.
• Community Development: Advancing local health equity, education, and humanitarian relief efforts globally.
