    PFIZER CANADA WORKS WITH HEALTH PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL OF CANADA
    TO PROVIDE URGENTLY NEEDED MEDICINES TO PEOPLE LIVING IN CRITICAL
    SITUATIONS

    KIRKLAND, QC, May 30 /CNW Telbec/ - With a donation of $2.2 million of
anti-inflammatory ARTHROTEC(1) and anti-fungal DIFLUCAN(2), Pfizer Canada is
joining forces with Health Partners International of Canada (HPIC) to support
relief efforts in China, Burma (Myanmar), Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. These
Pfizer medicines have been identified as much needed and reliable by HPIC.
More than half of Pfizer's donated medicines will be provided to the Howard
Hospital in rural Zimbabwe. Pfizer's anti-inflammatories will be included in
the HPIC Physician Travel Packs to be carried by healthcare professionals on
emergency relief missions to China, Burma and will also be delivered to the
CURE Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. Pfizer Canada shipped these medicines to
the HPIC distribution centre in Mississauga on May 16.
    "Once again, Pfizer has responded quickly and generously to the needs of
people suffering in the developing world. We deeply appreciate their most
recent donation as we work together to bring healing and hope in the midst of
some very devastating situations. We could not do our work without faithful
partners like Pfizer Canada," says John Kelsall, President, Health Partners
International of Canada.
    "We are proud to support these humanitarian efforts in China, Burma,
Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, by donating the requested quantities of Pfizer
medicines. Pfizer Canada and HPIC share the same purpose: help out people in
need and provide them with effective medicines," says John Helou, Vice
President, Public Affairs and Stakeholder Relations at Pfizer Canada. "Once
more our organization lives up to its guiding aspiration of 'Working together
for a healthier world' through its long-term commitment to HPIC."

    Pfizer Canada - Among HPIC's top donors of medicines since 1994
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    Pfizer Canada has been supporting HPIC since 1994, donating a range of
medicines, such as antibiotics, anti-fungals, anti-parasitics and pain
relievers, worth more than $38 million. For most of the Canadian healthcare
industry, HPIC is the preferred channel for providing medical aid to people
living in impoverished countries.
    Pfizer Canada has contributed medicines to many of HPIC's major overseas
humanitarian missions, including emergency responses to natural disasters and
bulk shipments for on-the-ground partners, including organizations in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Nicaragua, Lebanon, Pakistan, Niger, Zimbabwe,
Honduras, Uganda, Indonesia, Angola, China and Afghanistan. When the tsunami
struck Southeast Asia in December 2004, Pfizer led an unprecedented industry
response that resulted in a shipment to Sri Lanka, which was the largest in
HPIC's history. Pfizer's commitment to HPIC supports the organization's
programs for physicians and dentists, disaster response and international
health. Each Physician Travel Pack (PTP), a portable selection of basic
medicines and supplies for use in the field, carried overseas by a Canadian
medical professional or humanitarian volunteer contains Pfizer products.
