Novo Nordisk Haemophilia Foundation and Novo Nordisk Foundation announce expanded partnership to reduce inequities in healthcare
The Novo Nordisk Haemophilia Foundation (NNHF) and Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF) are excited to announce the expansion of their co-funding partnership through a new framework agreement, which will be in effect until 2030.
The expanded partnership will see NNHF projects quadruple the annual number of beneficiaries reached by 2030, by accelerating improvements in care for people living with bleeding disorders and haemoglobinopathies.
Since the inception of their partnership in 2020, NNF and NNHF have successfully co-funded projects in East Africa and India. This new agreement will enable co-funded projects in more countries and promote a scaled-up integrated approach for managing bleeding disorders and haemoglobinopathies, specifically sickle cell disease and thalassaemia. These initiatives will capitalise on the synergies between these conditions, as they are frequently addressed by the same healthcare facilities, personnel, and policies in low- and middle-income countries.
“Over the past two decades, the Novo Nordisk Haemophilia Foundation has contributed to improving the lives of people living with bleeding disorders in low- and middle-income countries. The Novo Nordisk Foundation is happy to support NNHF in scaling up its activities to address unmet needs in bleeding disorders while broadening its scope to include haemoglobinopathies. This will have a significant impact, helping people affected by these diseases to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.” Rikke Johannessen, Director of Global Development, NNF
“We are absolutely thrilled at this new phase of our journey with NNF. Through our 20 years of experience delivering impactful programmes, we know the power of partnerships when it comes to driving systemic change. We look forward to continuing to work with our network of fantastic partners across the world, and welcoming new ones, to achieve the ambitious goals of this expanded partnership.” Denise Braendgaard, General Manager, NNHF
