About Magani
" MAGANI means remedy in the Hausa language,
signifying both medicine itself and a solution for the
lack of access to essential treatments. "
Magani is a private non-profit organisation. It is a satellite project of the international, medical humanitarian movement of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), and is operating as a dedicated initiative. Magani acts and operates with full independence from the medical humanitarian field operations carried out by the organizations Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
“ Magani isn’t just about filling gaps —
it’s about closing them for good.
Bridging the Gap in Access to Essential Medicines:
Every day, millions of patients across the world struggle to access life-saving prescription medications. Whether due to non-availability of certain medicines, temporary shortages, abusive prices or substandard quality. Getting the right treatment remains a challenge—especially for patients with chronic diseases like cancer, cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, neglected diseases or mental health disorders.
The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) often witnessed persistent drug shortages, unaffordable prices, and unreliable supply chains, especially for chronic and complex diseases in lower- and middle-income countries. Magani was created to offer decades of commitment to rigorous quality assurance, and experience in negotiating fair prices on essential medicines, to provide a transparent, secure, and affordable online platform where patients can access medications that meet stringent international quality standards when they are unavailable locally.
OUR MISSION:
Magani’s commitment is to offer a reliable and ethical option to patients and to contribute, through the transparency and analysis of our actions, to systemic change for universal access to quality care.
Beyond providing an immediate solution for patients, Magani is committed to long-term impact by working alongside health authorities, hospitals, and local stakeholders to strengthen local medicine availability. We believe in a future where Magani is no longer needed— until then, we are here to help.
In addition to providing patients with immediate solutions, we work to:
- Push for local availability of essential medicines through transparency about the platform activity, advocacy and partnerships.
- Collaborate with national health authorities and local actors to make medications more accessible.
" Our vision is a world where patients no longer need
MAGANI— because healthcare systems provide
reliable, affordable medications for all. Until then,
we are here to help.
