The Mérieux Foundation, an independent foundation with public interest status, is committed to fighting, in the field, the infectious diseases that affect developing countries by building capacities, particularly in clinical laboratories.

With its network of laboratories, the foundation’s work is focused on diagnosis, an essential aspect of patient care and an indispensable tool for disease surveillance and control. Taking a global health approach, the foundation also works in the field to help the most vulnerable, with a strong emphasis on mothers and children.

The core vision of Fondation Mérieux in Asia is to bring diagnostic solutions and access to health care closer to the most vulnerable populations and people who live in hard-to-reach areas. Over the last two decades, Fondation Mérieux has developed distinctive operations to detect, prevent and respond in the fight against epidemics, outbreaks, and potential pandemics in the region through sharing  pragmatic expertise, capacity building, and enhancing infrastructure.
