“The origins of a humanitarian foundation unlike any other in France,” with a Pierre Fabre audio archive and commentary by Foundation President Pierre-Yves Revol and Executive Director Béatrice Garrette.
IMPROVING ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE
in the Global South
A FOUNDATION RECOGNISED AS BEING OF PUBLIC UTILITY
The Fondation Pierre Fabre was awarded charitable status on 6 April 1999, declared by the French State as working in the public interest. It acts disinterestedly and independently to achieve its strictly humanitarian goal. Its mission is to enable communities from the world’s less-advanced and emerging countries, as well as those plunged into severe crises by political or economic upheaval and/or natural disaster, to access the quality and levels of everyday healthcare and the widely used drugs defined by the WHO as being essential to human health. This status allows the Foundation to receive public funding, donations and bequests, and entails government oversight of the Foundation’s activities through the State’s presence on the Board of Directors with two representatives.
A SHAREHOLDING FOUNDATION
The Fondation Pierre Fabre is the main shareholder of the Pierre Fabre Group, with an 86% share. This organisation, unique in France at this level of commitment, makes it possible to endow the Foundation with sustainable means to finance its work. The Fondation Pierre Fabre is not directly involved in the operational management of the Group, devoting itself exclusively to performing the work set forth in its statutes.

The Fondation Pierre Fabre designs and develops its own programmes in close collaboration with its partners (health centres, doctors, universities, research centres, patient associations, health authorities, international donors, etc.) to provide lasting and appropriate responses that can bridge inequalities in access to quality healthcare. Active in some twenty countries, the Foundation’s work centres on neglected pathologies and especially vulnerable populations that have tremendous needs, when funding to address such needs is absent. As the Foundation is convinced that Western intervention models are not suited to the challenges faced by the Global South, it keenly monitors technological and social innovations and acts using a scale-up model through which proven projects are replicated in other territories with similar needs.
