They advocate for universities to prioritize public health over profit by adopting policies that support affordable drug pricing, equitable licensing, and open access to research. UAEM aims to ensure that life-saving medicines are available to all who need them, promoting ethical practices in medical research and innovation while encouraging universities to share their discoveries more widely for the global good.
