Investing in neglected tropical diseases, successful partnerships

 

October 25, 2011

 

Organized by euSEND (European Solutions Enterprise on Neglected Diseases), a partnership of AMC, Department of Global Health, Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD),  Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) and TI Pharma (TIP).

 

euSEND is a partnership between several public and private partners, where we match potential solutions to neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with appropriate resources. We form and support public-private partnerships in R&D projects for drugs, diagnostics and solutions to NTDs.

 

This workshop was aimed at highlighting some of our projects and advocating the success of partnerships in global health and NTDs. The workshop was meant to motivate and stimulate partnerships and investments in NTDs.
