Abstrakt: Background: The field of global health has grown with multiple different public and private stakeholders engaging in the effort to improve health outcomes for underserved populations around the world. There is, however, only limited published guidance on how to promote successful partnerships between academia and the biopharmaceutical industry.
Objective: This analysis will provide a framework for developing successful partnerships around five central principles. This framework will then be applied to two representative pharmacy collaboration case studies focused on training and donations.
Framework Description and Case Study Findings: Within the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH), successful collaborations between the biopharmaceutical industry philanthropic entities and academic partners have consistently prioritized 1) contextualization, 2) collaboration, 3) local priorities, 4) institutional commitment, and 5) integration. In the first case study, the application of this framework to clinical pharmacy training activities sponsored by Celgene and implemented by the Purdue Kenya Partnership has helped the program transition from an entirely donor dependent training program to a revenue generating, locally administered program which is now recognized and accredited by the Kenyan government. In the second case study, medication donations from Eli Lilly and Company have been converted from a traditional donation program in one Kenyan health facility to a replicable and sustainable supply chain model which has been expanded to more than 70 public sector facilities across western Kenya.
Conclusion: Adherence to the five core principles of the proposed framework can help guide partnerships between academic institutions and the biopharmaceutical industry to advance healthcare services for underserved populations around the world. As large-scale government-based development agencies continue to primarily focus on specific disease states, biopharmaceutical industry-based collaborations can help initiate activities in underfunded therapeutic areas such as non-communicable diseases.
