Product Donations
Internationally, we donate our products through Health Partners International of Canada (HPIC), a Montréal-based charitable organization that provides much needed medicines, vaccines, medical supplies and devices for use by humanitarian or disaster relief missions in developing countries. Our products are included in HPIC’s Physician Travel Packs (PTP) and we respond to special requests from physicians traveling on humanitarian missions overseas.
In 2011, we donated close to $1 million worth of medicines to HPIC. Our medicines were used by physicians on humanitarian missions to Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Kenya, Jamaica, Togo, Uganda, and the Philippines. We provided a significant donation of Seroquel XR, a second generation atypical antipsychotic medication (AAP) for patients living with serious mental health issues in Sri Lanka. And we are proud to continue to contribute to HPIC’s Capacity Building and Access to Medicines Project in Afghanistan.
