Our Philosophy

Access to medicine is a basic social and cultural right, yet each year millions of people die due to preventable and treatable diseases such as HIV/Aids, malaria and tuberculosis. Others suffer needlessly due to chronic or neglected diseases, illnesses that could be eliminated but remain untreated simply because communities around the world continue to live beyond the reach of medicine.

We believe that improving access to medicine can help solve an important part of the global health problem. But it can’t be done alone. We call on the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies to join with us in a spirit of cooperation, not competition. Our goal? To support them on a path towards greater transparency and begin a new dialogue around the access to medicine subject. To no longer question “What can be done?” but rather “How can it be done.”

Together with pharmaceuticals, governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders we can combine the goals of science and business to create a new vision for improving access to medicine, redefining the role and reach of pharmaceuticals to save millions of lives each year.
