Equitable Access to Medicines
Pfizer works to improve the health of people around the world.
As well as the many local efforts in each country the company operates in, Pfizer runs several global programmes. These focus on using the full range of the company's resources — people, skills, expertise and funding — to broaden access to medicines and strengthen healthcare delivery for underserved people around the world.
Pfizer Inc. has a three part approach to global aid and emergency relief: medicine donations, cash grants, and humanitarian assistance programmes.
The International Trachoma Initiative aims to meet the WHO's call to eliminate trachoma by 2030.
