PILMA – PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION
PILMA partners are working around the clock to assist in a time of exponential need:
- Rapidly screening vast global libraries of medicines to identify potential treatments and ramp up numerous clinical trials to test new and existing therapies
- Helping to respond to the sick in communities across the country while putting their own health and families at risk
- Diverting existing resources to speed the development of safe and effective vaccines and treatments.
- Playing a critical role to ensure that workers displaced and laid off because of economic uncertainty and COVID-19 get the assistance they need
- Expanding manufacturing capabilities to ramp up production once a medicine or vaccine is developed.
- Collaborating with government agencies, hospitals, doctors and others to donate supplies and medicines to those affected in the U.S. and around the world. North America’s Building Trades are donating N-95 masks and other equipment to nurses on the frontlines
- Working with governments and insurers so that when new treatments and vaccines are approved they will be available, accessible, and affordable for all patients
