The Medical Student International (MSI) has
now grown to be the voice of medical students worldwide. Through the global network of medical students represented by the IFMSA, it has become a means through which medical students demonstrate diverse visions on various global health issues. MSI online and in print, addresses global health issues from fresh perspectives. It highlights intriguing subjects that draw the reader's attention to global health inequalities, that we, as future physicians, must take an active interest in. MSI will remain a unique resource for medical students.

Get published in MSI and let the world read your thoughts – the IFMSA alone, has an estimated 1 million members in more than 90 countries. And for now, I’d leave you to discover the barriers of “Access to Essential Medicines”.
