Pfizer's committment to the developing world

Boy with bananas

Pfizer is working with leading non-profit organizations, governments, the United Nations and the World Health Organization to build partnerships for a healthier world. Some of the initiatives we operate across the world include:

 

 

 

 

Diflucan® Partnership Programme

A partnership to treat two HIV/AIDS related opportunistic infections in developing countries with a high HIV/AIDS prevalence: http://www.diflucanpartnership.org

  • Active in more than 20 countries in Africa and the Carribean
  • 65,000 patients treated and 18,000 healthcare workers trained in the diagnosis and treatment of opportunistic fungal infections
  • Governments and NGOs can apply to participate at http://www.diflucanpartnership.org<

International Trachoma Initiative

Trachoma remains a devastating illness causing blindness to the eye. Today almost six million people worldwide have already gone blind from this transmittable disease. The International Trachoma Initiative uses an innovative plan developed by the World Health Organisation. A critical component of the strategy’s success is the use of and availability of one of Pfizer’s antibiotic’s.

Pfizer Global Health Fellows Programme

Pfizer sends talented employees with expertise in a variety of fields for up to six months to support non-governmental humanitarian organizations fighting HIV/AIDS and diseases of poverty in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Carribean and Latin America:

  • In 2003, 18 Global Health Fellows were selected to serve as physicians, epidemiologists, nurses, educators, and business consultants all over the world.
  • Pfizer has committed to fund transportation, lodging and other expenses for the Fellows, while maintaining their position within the company.
