Melina Mueller

Melina is in her final year of medical school at Charité University in Berlin, Germany. Her commitment to social justice and health policy was deeply influenced by working with a medical team at a homeless shelter in Berlin. There, she witnessed significant disparities in healthcare access between refugees and regularly insured patients in Germany. These experiences shaped her dedication to improving access to medicines on both a local and global scale.

She joined UAEM during the pandemic, becoming an active member of the Berlin chapter. Melina helped organize demonstrations against Pfizer, delivered lectures on neglected tropical diseases at her university, and facilitated a session on health equity during COVID-19 with the former Director of the Robert Koch Institute, Lothar Wieler.
