What We Do

Discover

Biotherapeutics

Biotherapeutics like monoclonal antibodies are crucial for treating diseases but remain inaccessible in many low- and middle-income countries. MPP is working on improving access through voluntary licensing, technology transfer, and collaborations with key stakeholders.

Local and Regional Manufacturing

MPP supports diversified manufacturing through licensing and facilitating technology transfer to local and regional manufacturers, contributing to improved access to health products, supply security, and emergency preparedness and response.

Discover

Pandemic Preparedness and Response

MPP aims to incorporate licensing and technology transfer as essential elements in the global framework for pandemic preparedness and response.

Discover

Upstream Access

MPP collaborates closely with key partners to ensure that licensing and funding agreements for early-stage health technologies include terms that facilitate access in low- and middle-income countries.

Addressing Children’s Needs

Children are one of the most vulnerable yet neglected population in terms of access to optimal medicines in adapted formulations. Consequently, paediatric therapies often remain limited and sub-optimal. To address this issue, MPP and partners are accelerating the development and uptake of child-friendly formulations.

Long-acting Therapeutics

Long-acting therapeutics are emerging as gamechangers in healthcare by offering a simpler yet effective way of administering medicines that frees patients from daily pills, helps them stay on treatment & reduces burden on health systems. MPP is working on an access plan to ensure that as these products get developed, they are available to everyone, everywhere and at the same time.
