The COVID-19 pandemic has limited our ability to travel to IDA\u2019s agents and distributors who are locally present around the world. Fortunately, online meetings and contacts are efficient and allow us to work effectively as well. Nonentheless, we recognise the added value that personal meetings have in global health development at a local level. Last month, our Area Manager Alexander traveled to South Africa, ESwatini, and Mozambique. This week, Alexander and colleague Hans traveled to Chad and Benin to meet with IDA\u2019s local health partners and to strengthen our local presence in these countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chad and Benin cope with a broad range of health issues, from malnutrition and neonatal disorders to communicable diseases such as malaria. At IDA Foundation, we want to provide access to essential medicines and medical goods that remain out of reach for people who need them the most. With our long-term goal \u201cUniversal health coverage\u201d, we aim to bridge that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our presence in these countries in the past years is expected to have made a healthy impact: looking at 2019 and 2020, IDA\u2019s health products are estimated to have reached almost 0.3 million people in Chad and over 13 million people in Benin. These products range from medicines that support mothers and children in safe labour, to LLINs that protect against malaria, to antibiotics to treat communicable diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you can find some pictures taken during Alexander\u2019s and Hans\u2019 visits to hospitals and pharmacies in N\u2019Djamena, Chad, and Cotonou, Benin. We are pleased to see IDA\u2019s products stocked in so many different places!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/idafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ChadBenin.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/idafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ChadBenin.png 788w, https:\/\/idafoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ChadBenin-480x446.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 788px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amsterdam, 28 October 2021&nbsp;\u2013 We have some catching up to do!
