FAIRMED is a Swiss development organization which has extensive experience in neglected tropical diseases affecting indigenous populations. We are experts in Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and public health. Since 1959, the organization “Aide aux Lepers d’Emaüs Suisse” (ALES) which became FAIRMED in 2008 has been fighting against NTDs affecting poor, vulnerable and marginalized populations in endemic countries. It works in the Congo Basin in Central Africa and South East Asia. We work in partnership with local and international players. Furthermore, it acts on both the supply and demand side. We believe in local capabilities and all our offices and projects in Africa and Asia are managed by local experts. Through neglected diseases, we identify our target populations and, through a comprehensive approach that takes into account all health-related factors, we break the vicious cycle of disease and poverty. We act on both supply and demand. On the one hand, FAIRMED works close to communities, we know their needs and we give them the means to act and on the other hand, we strengthen primary health care systems which constitute the first point of access to health for our communities. Through our programs, we are changing the lives of the most vulnerable locally and, globally, we are contributing to universal health coverage and the Millennium Development Goals, whose slogan is “leave no one behind”.
