In response to the humanitarian emergency in Lebanon, PSF Switzerland was approached in 2022 by three local partners involved in local aid projects for the most disadvantaged people in the Bauchrieh, Bourj Hammoud and Dora neighborhoods, north-east of Beirut. The aim of this support is to give the inhabitants of these neighborhoods access to essential medical treatment.

Medicines for people in precarious situations in Switzerland

South Sudan

In February 2018, the Swiss Association of Friends of Sister Emmanuelle (ASASE) and their Sudanese partner, the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SSVP), approached PSF Switzerland to support the health center serving a population of 5,000 inhabitants living near Juba.

Even today, 1/3 of the world’s population* has no access to essential medicines!

Since 1992, PSF Switzerland has been committed to improving access to essential medicines for the world’s most disadvantaged people. PSF Switzerland focuses on a number of key areas in order to carry out sustainable projects that promote the autonomy of beneficiaries. These include training local staff and transferring skills, sourcing quality generic essential medicines from local suppliers, rehabilitating and equipping infrastructures, and providing academic training in pharmacy.
