ukAM07: Access To Essential Medicines

....silence after the storm

So there it was UkAM 2007 over in a flurry of blue tee-shirts, dazzling english sunshine, fantastic internationals, phenomenal socials and maybe one too many fire drills! For those of you who missed out, at the core of Ukam 2007 was our theme "Access to Essential Medicines" and because we want to share the ukam love as far as we possibly can we'll be putting up all the speeches and presentations on the theme over the next few weeks.

Speeches from the likes of; WHO, WMA, MSF, Richard Horton, Richard Smith and much more

Yep, that means you can enjoy all that UKAM goodness from your very own sofa (or desk if you're one of those more serious medic types) So stay tuned , keep excited, get involved in Medsin or your own representative organisation. THINK LOCAL, ACT GLOBAL

If you were at UKAM and you have been empassioned by our theme, or alternatively if you thought we missed out or misrepresented let us know! Remember we here at Medsin are just students like you, trying to work out our role in challenging the inequities and global issues of health care.

Stay cool and stay tuned!
