Personally, I think that it is better to share things about yourself that don't otherwise appear in the application and that might be of interest to the adcom. I could go out on a limb and say, perhaps, that although I didn't have an opportunity to go abroad during my undergrad career, I am looking forward to such an opportunity in medical school and was pleased to learn of XYZ School of Medicine's global health program with opportunities to study and serve in [country #1] and [country #2}. I had a college roommate from country #1 and visited country #2 as a high school student and these countries, in particular interest me for those personal reasons.
That is really telling the reader about the applicant and is better than, "I'm impressed with XYZ School of Medicine's global health program and the opportunity for medical students to [cut an paste here from med school website}. " I see this far too often.
