<h1>Legal risks for pharmaceutical foundation's multinational health programs: funding rules, data consent, procurement and IP compliance</h1> A pharmaceutical foundation hosted a multinational summit with several African first ladies to announce joint healthcare-capacity programs, including provision of 2,280+ medical scholarships across 52 countries and 244 scholarships targeted to one country's doctors in diverse specialties, girl-education sponsorships, media trainings, awards and educational materials. The release stresses partnerships with a national first lady and non-political positioning. Legal considerations include compliance with donor-recipient and charitable-funding regulations, data and publicity consent for beneficiaries, potential public-sector procurement or conflict-of-interest rules when partnering with government figures, and IP/licensing for educational content and media.
