UAEM (Universities Allied for Essential Medicines)
Health
Universities Allied for Essential Medicines, or UAEM, was founded in 2001 by a group of Yale students, fighting for medicine accessibility in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since then, UAEM has grown to become an international student organization in 20 different countries, all fighting for the same thing. UAEMer's across the world are fighting to promote access to medicines and medical innovations where barriers exist, to ensure that university medical research meets the needs of people worldwide and to empower students to respond to the biomedical access and innovation crisis by advocating for the most promising global biomedical R&D system that works for all.
