| Contesto |
DNDi is one of the few and most successful public private partnerships that seek to coordinate the contributions of the private, public, academic and not-for-profit sectors to address the scientific, economic, legal and political challenges that exist in developing new health technologies for the use in developing countries, and in ensuring their rapid and widespread use. |
| Obiettivi |
DNDi’s primary objective is to deliver 11 to 13 new treatments by 2018 for leishmaniasis, human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), Chagas disease, malaria, paediatric HIV, and specific helminth infections and to establish a strong R&D portfolio that addresses patients’ treatment needs and supports long term objectives. Moreover, further objectives include using and strengthening existing capacities in disease-endemic countries via project implementation and raising awareness about the need to develop new drugs for neglected diseases and advocate for increased public responsibility. |
| Gruppi target |
More than 1 billion people worldwide affected by NTDs, mainly in Africa and mostly those living in remote rural areas, urban slums or conflict zones. |
