42 years after it was founded by the Syndicat National de l’Industrie Pharmaceutique (SNIP), which has now become the professional organisation for pharmaceutical companies (LEEM), the Tulipe association(Transfertd’Urgencede L’IndustriePharmaceutiquE) has unveiled its new visual identity, symbolising its unwavering commitment to providing access to healthcare for people living in crisis zones around the world. A look back at a history marked by medical emergencies and the determination to bring a breath of hope to the most devastated areas.
On the edge of urgency: The origin of Tulipe
In 1982, at a time when Poland was ravaged by war, theTulipe association was created as an emergency response to the pressing medical needs of populations affected by conflict. Since its creation, Tulipe has embodied the very essence of solidarity between healthcare companies working together to contribute to access to healthcare during the various crises that have marked history over the last 42 years.
Crucial interventions
From the shores of the Black Sea to the farthest reaches of Asia, Tulipe has written its history through interventions that have marked lives and healed wounds. From emergency operations in Afghanistan to relief efforts during the devastating earthquake in Haiti, health crises in Cambodia and Iran, and the Tsunami in Asia, Tulipe has relentlessly pursued its mission to provide access to healthcare.

From coordination with the Crisis and Support Centre to collaboration with international organisations such as Première Urgence Internationale, La Chaîne de l’Espoir and Action contre la Faim, Tulipe has established itself as a key player in global medical emergencies.
