Liberty Medicines
is committed to bringing life-saving medicines to the people
of Africa, Caribbean, and Latin America. We recognize the overwhelming need for pharmaceutical
products to fight diseases such as yellow fever, typhoid,
cholera as well as less widely know diseases such as Schistosomiasis,
African Trypanosomiasis, and Onchocerciasis, to name only
a few.
With our unparalleled resources, expertise and proprietary
offerings, we deliver products that are innovative and practical.
To our customers, this means we help them focus on what matters
most - improving people's lives. |
In the last two decades, the
implosion of African economies under the burden of debt,
the negative repercussions of the structural adjustment programs,
the crisis of legitimacy, civil wars, and the collapse of
some states resulted in a serious health crisis across the
continent. Newly emerging diseases, such as Ebola virus and
HIV/AIDS, killed and disabled millions. Some "old diseases," such
as yellow fever, tuberculosis, and polio, have reappeared.
Malaria, cholera, and meningitis continue to kill thousands.
In many countries, the medical infrastructure has collapsed,
while an increasing number of physicians and nurses have
migrated to more hospitable places. Stigmatization of the
affected people has compounded on previous social and racial
discrimination, and has affected the implementation of national
and international public health programs.
