A silicon valley startup by the name of SIRUM (http://www.sirum.org/) has done some pretty incredible work in this space. They re-distribute medicine nearing it's expiration from hospitals/pharmacies/etc. with surplus to areas that need it and can use it before it expires.
I'm sure they do more - I only have a slim memory from hearing one of their founder's speak.
They do have a pretty incredible impact and deserve mention in this conversation - they've been attacking this problem from a "what can we do now" perspective for the last 5 or 6 years while others have been spending time debating what to do or if anything really needs to be done. They are good people.
