More dispensers for free menstrual products on campus
15.07.2026 -
The startup Periodically, founded by two medical students at Magdeburg University Medical Center, continues its success story: The dispensers for free menstrual products are now in use at more than 50 universities in Germany.
The program is also expanding on our campus: As of now, four new dispensers are available in lecture hall buildings 7, 22, and 28. The program was already available at the Central Medical Library (Building 41). This marks another step toward greater equality of opportunity in everyday student and work life.
