It is not enough to offer medicines free of charge or at dramatically-reduced prices. Ensuring medicines reach those in need requires collaboration among multiple organizations. Pharmaceutical companies invest enormous amounts of time, money and expertise in building effective partnerships with international, governmental and local agencies.
The pharmaceutical company's commitment often expands to include creation of the delivery networks, training tools and infrastructure needed to administer the medicine or implement preventive measures.
In many cases, companies have pledged categorically that their involvement will continue until the target diseases are eradicated.
