The Mectizan Donation Program (MDP), established in 1987, is the longest-running drug donation initiative for neglected tropical diseases, specifically targeting river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. With partnerships in 62 countries across various regions, MDP oversees the distribution of Mectizan, donated by Merck Co. Inc., to ensure treatment access for millions at risk of these debilitating illnesses.

Through collaboration with national programs and non-governmental organizations, MDP trains community-directed distributors to deliver essential medicines to endemic areas. Their efforts aim to eliminate river blindness and lymphatic filariasis, creating a future free from these diseases and improving global health outcomes.
