Partners with Major Pharmaceutical Makers
For over 50 years, MAP International has partnered with the pharmaceutical industry to increase access to medicine for people in over 115 impoverished countries around the world. In February 2005, MAP International surpassed the $2 billion dollar mark in distributing donated medicines and medical supplies.
MAP International has become one of the pharmaceutical industries most trusted partners.
Raising standards of excellence
MAP is a longstanding member of the Partnership for Quality Medical Donations (PQMD). MAP's work with PQMD led to the establishment by the World Health Organization (WHO) of standards and guidelines for the ethical distribution of international product donations.
MAP International supports the four core principles underlying the WHO Guidelines for Drug Donations:
1. A drug donation should benefit the recipient to the maximum extent possible.
2. A donation should be made with full respect for the wishes and authority of the recipient, and be supportive of existing government policies and administrative arrangements.
3. There should be no double standards in quality: if the quality of an item is unacceptable in the donor country, it is also unacceptable as a donation.
4. There should be effective communication between the donor and the recipient: donations should be based on an expressed need and not sent unannounced.
