determinants of health. Founded three years after the creation of the WHO, IFMSA
is a global network of 1.3 million medical students from 101 countries whose
mission is to “develop culturally sensitive students of medicine, intent on
influencing the transnational inequalities that shape the health of our
planet.” In 2011, IFMSA made a huge stride by placing global health equity and
action on social determinants of health as a key policy and advocacy focus,
culminating in the creation of a new Global Health Equity Initiative a year
later.</span></p>

international dialogues, including the annual UN climate change conferences,
the WHO World Conference on Social Determinants of Health, and most recently
Rio+20 Summit. The experience of IFMSA illustrates why and how the energy and
enthusiasm of medical students and young people should and could be harnessed
by the global health community for education, research, advocacy, and service
towards global health equity. IFMSA provides an alternative venue for the
breeding of a new generation of health leaders and change agents.</span></p><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="cid:ii_13853b723ab29124" alt="Inline image 2"><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
