UCAB Mission

The mission of UCAB is to improve global health by enabling the sustainable production of high quality and affordable biotherapeutics that are accessible to patients in LMICs. UCAB focusses on the development of biotherapeutics with the greatest impact on public health in LMICs, which are preferably included in the Essential Medicines List (EML) or the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) portfolio of the World Health Organization. 

UCAB's strategy is to initiate the formation of business associations between manufacturers and distributors of biotherapeutics. The business associations share the development technology for the development of the biotherapeutic and build a shared file for marketing authorization in their individual territories.
