Merci aux communautés présentes à #AFRAVIH2026. Votre rôle est central dans la réponse au VIH. Comme je l’ai mentionné, « L’accès ne s’improvise pas. Ça s’anticipe ». Continuons à construire ensemble en intégrant pleinement votre expertise.
Dr Philippe Duneton
For 20 years, we have worked to expand access to health innovations at scale.
Our work addresses barriers that slow or limit access, affordability, supply, and delivery.

For 20 years, we have worked to bridge the gap between innovation and access in global health.
Innovation only matters when it reaches the people who need it.
