The anniversary of the Foundation<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n

We are happy and proud to celebrate our first 20 years. Founded in Parma on April 14, 2005, as an expression of the Chiesi Group’s social responsibility, the Foundation today celebrates 20 years of continuous commitment to improving access to quality respiratory and neonatal care for the most vulnerable populations in the Global South. On this special occasion, our thoughts go to Dr. Paolo Chiesi, our founder and <\/span>first president<\/span> , who passed away last year, who with great passion and scientific rigor promoted the creation of the Foundation, following its evolution and helping to define its identity.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate 20 years of business, let’s look back at some of our key moments.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Support for scientific research<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n

In its first five years of existence and activity, the Foundation focused almost exclusively on supporting scientific research projects, leveraging the know-how and experience gained by the Chiesi Group globally. During this period, the Chiesi Foundation, as <\/span>grant-maker<\/span><\/i> , he has funded numerous local and international research projects, as well as several scholarships.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Our mission: a commitment to health, the planet, and the future<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n

It was in 2010, however, that the Foundation made a significant change in its philanthropic journey, choosing to focus primarily on international cooperation in the fields of neonatal and respiratory care, acting not only as a funder but as a true<\/span> implementing partner<\/span><\/i> , thus promoting the sustainable development of clinical and scientific skills to ensure the autonomy of local communities.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Our commitment to promoting everyone’s right to health is reflected in our mission: <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are committed to improving the health and alleviating the suffering of patients with respiratory and neonatal diseases, improving their quality of life and that of their families.\u201d<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We dream of a future where all newborns, their mothers, their families, and all people affected by chronic respiratory diseases in the Global South have equal access to quality care. Every decision made by the Foundation is guided by its founding values: a sense of responsibility towards society and the environment, the dissemination of scientific knowledge, and equity through the fight against suffering. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals <\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h3>\n

The<\/span> 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda<\/span><\/a><\/span> require urgent and collaborative action by all Member States to address global challenges and achieve specific targets.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Foundation supports in particular two SDGs of the 2030 Agenda:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
