ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE The Fondation Pierre Fabre has been committed to fighting inequalities in healthcare access since it was founded. Still, though access to primary health care is essential to achieving progress in public health, it is not guaranteed in some very poor, remote areas. In recent years, the Foundation’s support for local healthcare centres has intensified in response to persistence of emergency situations and increased conflicts. Today, the Foundation is acting as a partner to local humanitarian entities working to assist vulnerable populations in crisis contexts.
