“We are pleased to bring the Rainbow Grants programme to India this year. Gilead has been championing the cause of access to care in India and we believe in the power of partnerships to bring about solutions that can make a difference. We hope this grants programme will help civil society organisations in India further their efforts in improving HIV management and positively impact the care and support for local community members living with HIV,” said Rahul Bargaje, Public Health and Medical Affairs Director, Gilead Sciences India.
“At Gilead, we believe that strong community partnerships can have a significant impact in improving the care and support for people living with serious diseases. Gilead’s Asia Pacific Rainbow Grants programme is one way that we work with community groups and support projects that place people at the centre of care. We look forward to supporting organisations in the region, to help enable people living with HIV reach their fullest potential each day and live a fulfilling life,” said Amy Flood, Senior Vice President, Public Affairs, Gilead Sciences.
