The circular design of this virtual gallery was inspired by the famous Coxcomb charts created by Florence Nightingale. The chart was based upon data she collected at Scutari Hospital, in Crimea, and used as part of a later report and pamphlet. The visually unique diagram was designed to capture the attention of influential people in an effort to improve the sanitation conditions in military hospitals. Her work helped make the case for eliminating unhealthy practices and ultimately helped save many lives.

Aiming to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF), a major public health issue prominent in certain parts of the world, Eisai has committed to providing LF treatment for free to endemic countries that need the treatment until LF is eliminated in these countries. Since 2013, Eisai has supplied 2.28 billion tablets (as of February 2024) through the WHO to the people at risk in LF endemic countries.
Eisai is collaborating with DNDi, a non-profit drug research and development (R&D) organization, on the clinical development of an Eisai antifungal compound for mycetoma, one of the world's most neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Eisai is also working with DNDi in other initiatives such as "NTD Drug Discovery Booster" consortium and The Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP)*.
*GARDP has been successfully incubated by DNDi and is now an independent not-for-profit organization developing new treatments for drug-resistant infections that pose the greatest threat to health.
In January 2017, Eisai joined 22 healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, the World Bank and Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to form Access Accelerated, a coalition to address non-communicable disease (NCD) burdens in low and lower-middle income countries.
Eisai co-established GHIT Fund with the Government of Japan, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other 4 Japanese pharmaceutical companies in 2013.
Since 2013, Eisai is taking the role of the council member as one of the founding partners. The GHIT Fund helps advance the development of new medicines, vaccines and diagnostics to fight infectious diseases in the developing world.

Modal 18
Whene'er a noble deed is wrought,
Whene'er is spoken a noble thought,
Our hearts, in glad surprise,
To higher levels rise.
The tidal wave of deeper souls
Into our inmost being rolls,
And lifts us unawares
Out of all meaner cares.
Honor to those whose words or deeds
Thus help us in our daily needs,
And by their overflow
Raise us from what is low!
Thus thought I, as by night I read
Of the great army of the dead,
The tranches cold and damp,
The starved and frozen camp.
The wounded from the battle plain,
In dreary hospitals of pain,
The cheerless corridors,
The cold and stony floors.
Lo! In that house of misery
A lady with a lamp I see
Pass through the glimmering gloom,
And flit from room to room.
And slow, as in a dream of bliss,
The speechless sufferer turns to kiss
Her shadow, as it falls
Upon the darkening walls.
As if a door in heaven should be
Opened and then closed suddenly,
The vision came and went,
The light shone and was spent.
On England’s annals, through the long
Hereafter of her speech and song,
That light its rays shall cast
From portals of the past.
A Lady with a Lamp shall stand
In the great history of the land,
A noble type of good,
Heroic womanhood.
Nor even shall be wanting here
The palm, the lily, and the spear,
The symbols that of yore
Saint Filomena bore.
