Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi)

The Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) is a non-profit organization that addresses the lack of effective treatments for neglected diseases, which predominantly affect impoverished populations. Founded in 2003, DNDi collaborates with various partners to develop and deliver new, affordable medicines for diseases like sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis. By focusing on diseases that are often overlooked by the pharmaceutical industry, DNDi aims to improve health outcomes in marginalized communities and ensure access to essential treatments where they are most needed. Its work emphasizes innovation and collaboration in the fight against global health challenges.
