Eligibility for not-for-profit prices

Our not-for-profit prices are available in over 100 countries. This includes all the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and all of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) – a total of 64 countries. In addition, all private employers in sub-Saharan Africa who provide care and treatment to their uninsured staff can purchase our ARVs at not-for-profit prices. The not-for-profit prices are also offered to all projects fully funded by the Global Fund and the 15 countries covered by the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

We offer these prices where we believe the need is greatest. This is to governments, NGOs and agencies that are providing treatment on a not-for-profit basis in the poorest and worst affected countries. We also seek not-for-profit arrangements with individual countries to facilitate access for core public employees such as teachers, nurses, police and fire-fighters who are not covered by private health insurance schemes.

We negotiate prices with the private health sector on a case-by-case basis. We depend on revenues from sales to the private market to maintain a local presence and much-needed infrastructure in developing countries. Without this local capacity we would be unable to provide essential services such as training healthcare workers to use our products, product support, safety monitoring and registration and launch of new products.
