DNDi fosters collaboration both amongst developing countries and between developing and developed countries. Its design is a blend of centralised management to give it a clear project-specific focus, and decentralised operations that mimic modern drug companies. DNDi doesn’t conduct research and scientific work to develop drugs itself. Instead, it capitalises on existing, fragmented R&D capacity, especially in the developing world, and complements it with additional expertise as needed. This “virtual organisation” model helps cut costs. |

At its root, the mission of Partners in Health is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When a person in Peru, or Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at our disposal to make them well—from pressuring drug manufacturers, to lobbying policy makers, to providing medical care and social services. Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our own family—or we ourselves—were ill. |
