First Health United Foundation
First Health United is a non-profit organization based in The Netherlands. We are a fully independent spin off of the company First Health Pharmaceuticals, who transferred the largest part of its antivirus development pipeline to our non-profit foundation.
A Non Profit Organization
The First Health United non-profit organisation was founded with the purpose to promote life science R&D for the benefit of humanity in general. After the foundation of the First Health Capital investment fund and the First Health Pharmaceuticals company, it was decided that a substantial percentage of all future revenues resulting from the DDX3 RNA Helicase antivirus and anti-tumour agents would be redirected towards a dedicated non-profit organisation.
Our Research Focus
We decided to initially and immediately focus on one of the most serious of these viral infections that would at the same time also offer the best perspective for the rapid development of an end product. As such, Severe Dengue was chosen as the first development project of First Health United, trusting that in the future more third world viral diseases will probably benefit from the advancement R&D resulting from the Severe Dengue project.
