Esteve and Farmamundi have renewed their collaboration agreement once again, under which the laboratory participates as a member of the organization's emergency fund and, at the same time, as a provider of medicines. The medical and pharmaceutical material donated by esteve in 2016 were distributed to hospitals, clinics, health centers, welcome centers for sick people, refugee camps, orphanages and nursing homes in 23 countries.

With the support of 28 organizations, these medicines were distributed to hospitals, clinics, health centers, welcome centers for sick people, refugee camps, orphanages and nursing homes in Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Madagascar, Malawi, and Mali, among other countries. In addition to its collaboration as an in-kind donor, Esteve  also participates as a member of the Emergency Fund whereby Farmamundi provides many families with medical care, basic foodstuffs, medicines and personal hygiene items.
