]]> Comment on Vestergaard-Frandsen: A private company devoted to saving lives by ASCEND Alliance http://beyondgoodintentions.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/vestergaard-frandsen-a-private-company-devoted-to-saving-lives/#comment-343 ASCEND Alliance Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:01:32 +0000 http://beyondgoodintentions.wordpress.com/?p=175#comment-343 Thank you so much for posting that article! I probably never would have heard of the Vestergaard-Frandsen company, like the article mentioned it not being a household name. From your post, I clicked on the link to read the whole article. I am currently a new intern at a non-profit organization focusing on empowering those in need to save their children and ascend out of poverty. It was great then to read about how not only is this company always coming up with items to help in disaster/relief aid, but it is also trying to set a global standard. It was also an interesting idea for it's 50th anniversary to work with a village in Kenya to encourage people to get tested for HIV by bribing them. This bribe helped to overcome the stigma that comes with AIDS. An effective idea for sure. Thank you so much for posting that article!

This method of verifying counterfeit medications can be used anywhere, such as the United States.
