Every patient matters

Not everyone in the world can access the medicine they need when they need it. In places that have been hit by natural catastrophes or human disasters, long-suffering patients are unable to access a continuous supply of our medications. We are determined to address this issue so are partnering with “action medeor”, a non-profit organisation in Germany.

Experts in the handling of drug donations, action medeor make sure our donations are delivered with relevant patient information leaflets in English, French or Spanish and other required documents as well as ensuring goods are safely store until they need to be transported to patients. We are committed to following the WHO Guidelines for Drug Donations and to the “Good Drugs Donation Practice (GDDP)”.

Together with action medeor, we can make change possible – wherever patients are in the world.
