This has been one of the most gratifying partnerships of my life.”

speaking of Lions and LCIF’s SightFirst program.
“We have had a wonderful partnership with Lions clubs...and I am tremendously
pleased that we have screened more than five million kids and treated more than
50,000. I applaud the tireless efforts of the Lions…together, we can make a
difference in the lives of these kids.”

“George W. Merck believed that medicine should be for the people, not for the profits. As
a company, Merck continually strives to live up to this challenge. This is why we are proud
to partner with Lions’ Clubs International Foundation through the MECTIZAN Donation
Program, fighting river blindness in Africa and Latin America. LCIF is a trusted partner in
this groundbreaking program, and their commitment ensures that patients in even the most
remote areas are able to receive the best available treatment.”
