The Medicines for All Institute (“M4ALL”) was established with the goal of reducing the high costs of pharmaceutical products. They are committed to improving access to safe, effective, and affordable medicines. With medicine prices rising, innovators and generic manufacturers have little incentive to reduce manufacturing costs for wide range of medicines. M4ALL believes that its broad depth of novel chemical process technologies can lead to a step change reduction of excess costs. Undoubtedly, these processes expand patient access to both existing and new medication at an overall lower cost. M4ALL was formed to pursue and deliver this vision with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Improve access to safe, effective, and affordable medicines.
