Policy Statements
A policy statement can be submitted by any Medsin voting member - projects, campaigns and branches. If you would like to submit one please contact the relevant coordinator. They are voted on at Medsin General Assemblies - the last one took place in October and full details can be found here. The next one is due to take place at the end of April, 2007.
Policy statements are statements that Medsin members believe. They can be used to advocate for the right to health by publicity in the media or being included in lobbying of government.
