Making medicines for people, not profits, for over 20 years
Our founding partners established DNDi in 2003 in response to shocking neglect: patients and health workers around the world were faced with medicines that were ineffective, unsafe, priced out of reach, or simply never developed at all.
‘There is no greater anguish for a doctor than to have no safe option to treat their patients’
– DNDi FOUNDER, DR BERNARD PÉCOUL
Two decades on, we’ve delivered 14 affordable new treatments for six deadly diseases – thanks to the talent and commitment of hundreds of partners who have helped us prove that collaborative, not-for-profit R&D can deliver for neglected patients.
Our story is about turning frustration into action to ensure all people can benefit from the fruits of scientific progress.
