What are the biggest opportunities for MVP?
If MVP succeeds in eliminating epidemic meningitis from sub-Saharan Africa, it will be the first instance where a consortium—including public, private, and non-governmental/non-profit organizations—and a philanthropic foundation (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) have come together to develop a vaccine that is critically needed in Africa but that would not otherwise have been made by the private sector. This model could pave the way for the development of other drugs or vaccines for use in the developing world.
