A review of the partnership between Pfizer Inc. and the South African Ministry of Health to distribute free Diflucan (fluconazole) in the Diflucan Partnership Program (DPP) demonstrates that product donations may be a useful response to AIDS if they are coupled with efforts to build means of drug distribution and enhance professional healthcare capacity to treat patients. Equally important is the creation of a new set of productive working relationships between stakeholders who came to the project with different backgrounds and perspectives, as well as a frankly disparate set of objectives. A decision tree illustrates how these relationships were built into the DPP.

Key Words: Diflucan Partnership Program • Diflucan • AIDS donation program • AIDS crisis
