GSK Forms Partnership with Three NGOs

GSK has formed a new partnership with three NGOs to deliver its reinvestments to improve health outcomes by supporting frontline health workers in LDCs.

GlaxoSmithKline has formed a new partnership with three NGOs to deliver its reinvestments in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs): AMREF in East and Southern Africa, CARE International UK in Asia Pacific and Save the Children in West Africa. The investments aim to improve health outcomes by supporting frontline health workers who operate in these countries.

 

GSK currently supplies medicines to 37 of the 48 LDCs and 2010 profits available for reinvestment in 2011 amount to approximately £3.5m. The amount available for investment in each country will be proportional to the amount of profit generated there. As the profits vary from country to country, GSK has set a minimum investment of £10,000.
