Medsin is a grassroots student network focused on global health equity. Its vision is "A fair and just world in which equity in health is a reality for all". Its mission is "To create a network of students empowered to effect tangible social and political change in health on a local, national and global level through education, advocacy and community action"
Formed in 1995, the organisation has branches over 30 Universities in the UK. Medsin is the UK member of the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations. Medsin-UK is a registered charity tasked with facilitating the activities of Medsin in the UK. It has an elected national committee consisting of students active within Medsin, and a regional structure to aid communication between branches and the national committee. A by-law in its constitution prevents it from accepting donations from pharmaceutical companies. Medsin branches, campaigns and projects are autonomous.
