The Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) is<br />

a patient-needs driven, not-for-profit research and<br />

development (R&D) organization that develops safe,<br />

effective, and affordable medicines for the millions of<br />

neglected <strong>patients</strong> across the world.<br />

DNDi focuses on developing new treatments for the<br />

most neglected <strong>patients</strong> suffering from diseases such<br />

as human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness),<br />

leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, filariasis, paediatric HIV,<br />

mycetoma, and hepatitis C.<br />

The initiative’s primary objective is to deliver a total of<br />

16 to 18 treatments by 2023 and to establish a strong<br />

R&D portfolio for these diseases.<br />
