“For too long, life-saving medical tools that are the fruits of university-led discovery have been denied to poor people in poor countries. If our universities really are to be institutions for the public good, this must change.”
- Dr. Paul Farmer, Co-founder of Partners in Health
“Biomedical knowledge and achievement is growing at a tremendous pace, but is unmatched by ethical thinking about how to apply the results equitably, humanely and wisely. The universities are forgetting their role as guardians of human wisdom. UAEM has created consensus. Now it is time for the policy makers to act.”
- Sir John Sulston, Nobel Laureate in Medicine
Please Join UAEM in Washington DC on Wednesday July 30th for a reception from 6:00 to 9:30 featuring live music, light snacks, and drink specials at The Space, 903 N Street, NW, a new loft-style lounge with outdoor patios.
Purchase your ticket in advance through PayPal. Our suggested donation is $35 — though we certainly appreciate it if you can afford more.
We will have a list of advance donations with us at the door, but you can also bring your email receipt to the event to be sure we don’t hit you up again.
10 million people will die this year, and 19,000 children will die today because they don’t have access to existing medicines and vaccines. 1 billion people worldwide suffer from debilitating and deadly neglected diseases. Every major debate over access to a medicine in the developing world right now is connected to a drug developed at a university. Your donation will directly support UAEM’s work to make these drugs more accessible to those who need them most.
