Andreas Wimmer

Andreas is a student at the Medical University of Graz (Austria) with a particular interest in public health and infectious disease medicine. After becoming aware of the wide disparities in access to medicines and the consequences for people all over the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, he was looking for ways to get involved in the fight for availability of essential medicines for everyone and to get more informed on the matter. This is how he discovered UAEM, and its goals and values really spoke to him, which is why he joined the Vienna chapter in 2021, and the ECC in 2022. By doing so, he wants to take an active role in driving UAEM’s work in Europe and hopes to contribute to a fairer distribution of health technologies. In his free time, Andreas likes to play piano, go for a run and spend time in nature.
