More than 30 years ago, our company established the MECTIZAN® (ivermectin) Donation Program (MDP)—the longest-running disease-specific drug donation program and public-private partnership of its kind.
MSD has set a goal of eliminating river blindness. To this end, mectizan has been produced in Haarlem since 1987, which by way of donation reaches a total of 100 million people annually in 35 countries. Through this, blindness is prevented in around 40.000 people every year.
