What We Do
We partner with Sub-Saharan African nations, international agencies, and private sector organizations to build a state-of-the-art pharmaceutical product development and manufacturing facility and a secure distribution network, with the end goal of improving patients’ access to affordable high-quality medicines. This endeavor will be a stepping stone to building the technical capabilities and human capacity required for sustained access to locally-manufactured medicines. We also aim to forge strategic partnerships with local governments and academic institutions to develop targeted education and training programs that will facilitate the growth of a knowledgeable and talented workforce.
Our Purpose
MAI’s approach is inherently collaborative. We work alongside African governments, regional institutions, academic partners, and global allies to strengthen health systems from within. We believe the future of medicine access must be African-led, sustainable, and rooted in long-term infrastructure—not short-term interventions. That future is already taking shape, and we are committed to accelerating its progress.
