Health Policies
We advance medical innovation and distribute medicines that might not otherwise be available to underserved communities.
Grants
We support the global healthcare community’s independent initiatives to improve patient outcomes in areas of unmet medical need that are aligned with our medical and/or scientific strategies. The grant requester (and ultimately the grantee) is responsible for the design, implementation, sponsorship, and conduct of the independent initiative supported by the grant, including compliance with any regulatory requirements.
Political Partnerships
We believe that public policy engagement is an important and appropriate role for companies in open societies, when conducted in a legal and transparent manner.
Our corporate political contributions and lobbying activities are focused on promoting the interest of our company, without regard to the personal political preferences or affiliations of any of our employees, offices, or board members.
Working With Healthcare Professionals
Working with your doctor and other healthcare professionals is essential to gaining the real-world information we need to deliver treatment choices that improve the health of patients. Four main ways these professionals help us to help patients are through research and development, professional advising and consulting, expert-led forums, and in-office information exchange.
Prescription Pricing & Value
We invest in innovative medicines and techniques that drive down the costs of medicine as well as patient assistance when patients can’t afford their medicines. We negotiate medicine pricing with insurers who then determine what you pay out of pocket.
