The Foundation

Our values  

The Mérieux Foundation is driven by values that guide each of its projects. They shape our actions for a sustainable and positive impact.

The teams at the Mérieux Foundation identify with four core values. These values reflect our commitment to the Foundation’s mission: ensuring fairer access to healthcare for all, beyond borders.

Commitment

We are determined to fulfill the mission of the Mérieux Foundation in the fight against infectious diseases. It is because they believe in the importance of this long-term mission that our teams are particularly committed.

International solidarity

Our action is part of a global vision: we are committed to placing the health challenges of resource-limited countries at the heart of international initiatives, because we believe in the need for equal access to healthcare for all.

Expertise

We deploy our expertise at the heart of the most exposed areas, through large-scale projects focusing on key public health issues. With over 120 years’ experience in infectious diseases, the Mérieux Foundation relies on a network of national and international experts to share its know-how with healthcare professionals in the countries where it operates.

Collaboration

Convinced that local stakeholders are best placed to identify and prioritize their needs, we implement projects in close collaboration with public authorities and local players.

The relationships of trust we have built up with our partners over the years enable us to weave an international network of contributors that is essential to cross-fertilizing and leveraging skills.
