In synergy with the Mérieux Foundation,

Les Pensières Center for Global Health is a public health centerwith expertise based on over 35 years of engagement with scientists and public health players worldwide.

Convinced of the importance of pooling knowledge and the increasingly urgent need to share this knowledge with the world’s poorest countries, Dr. Charles Mérieux created a place dedicated to public health worldwide. This vocation was then confirmed and expanded by Alain Mérieux. In the 1980’s some of the first conferences in the world on rabies, polio and HIV/AIDS were held at Les Pensières. The tradition has continued in recent years with emerging threats such as Ebola, Zika and MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus).
