IMAK

I-MAK (Initiative for Medicines, Access & Knowledge) is a non-profit organization based in New York established in 2006. The organization focuses on challenging systemic injustice and advocating for health equity within the drug development and access landscape. With a core team of four employees, I-MAK works to bring awareness to the inequalities inherent in the current medicines system. I-MAK conducts in-depth research to expose market failures and structural inequities within the pharmaceutical industry. They use this research to inform their collaborative efforts with a diverse range of stakeholders, working to create inclusive dialogues and solutions for improved health equity. Additionally, I-MAK utilizes media engagement and educational platforms to raise awareness about these issues and empower those most affected by them. What sets I-MAK apart is its commitment to creating a more participatory and inclusive model for change. They actively seek to partner with a wide range of stakeholders, ensuring that the voices of those most impacted by the medicines system are heard and incorporated into the solution-building process.
