We provide high-quality, low-cost medicines to prevent and cure serious diseases in neglected populations around the world.<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

SUPPORT OUR WORK<\/strong><\/mark><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Over 250 million<\/strong> people are afflicted by one or more of our target diseases, with children disproportionately affected.<\/h2>

Preventable and curable diseases persist in neglected populations because quality medicines fail to reach those in need. Though treatments exist, low supply, poor packaging, and counterfeit drugs reduce trust and coverage in low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>

We address this by producing essential medicines in short supply and improved medicines for mass drug administration. Our drugs are reliable, high-quality, and packaged in child-resistant, tamper-evident, and eco-friendly materials that are easy to understand.<\/p>

At Bend Biomedical, we believe everyone deserves quality medicine. Period. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Our guiding principles<\/h2>\n\n

We are practical.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We understand that community-based mass drug administration is the most practical way to reach everyone in need of preventive chemotherapy.<\/p>\n\n

We are idealistic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We believe there are enough global resources to treat all highly prevalent preventable and curable diseases in developing countries.<\/p>\n\n

We are determined.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

We are on a mission and will make progress regardless if it’s through giant leaps or small steps.<\/p><\/div>

Mass Drug Administration coverage remains an important indicator in elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis.
