Drug trade group’s
US$100,000 gift benefits Rotary’s challeng
To
help support Rotary’s top goal of eradicating polio worldwide, the
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, known as PhRMA, has
donated US$100,000 to The Rotary Foundation. The gift will help meet Rotary’s
US$100 Million Challenge.
PhRMA
is an industry trade group that represents the leading pharmaceutical research
and biotechnology companies in the United States, including sanofi-aventis and
Novartis, two of the primary distributors of the oral polio vaccine.
“Our
relationship with Rotary is very much part of our efforts to advance innovative
and responsible approaches to providing access to sustainable health care,”
said Chris Ward, PhRMA’s deputy vice president for international alliance
development. “Our industry is driven by the search for cures and a genuine
desire to improve health outcomes all over the world.”
When
looking at the advancement of this goal, there is no better example than
Rotary’s work in ridding the world of polio, said Ward.
