Accessible Treatment
We believe that every patient deserves high-quality treatment. Our sites are development and production centers in which we seek ways to discover innovative and affordable pharmaceutical products. We provide opportunities for education and training awareness about the importance of health. We work with patient communities and other stakeholders to help patients get the medicines they need. We support various activities to increase the well-being of the wider social environment.
Daily, we recognize patients’ needs and the challenges that arise in the treatment and prevention of diseases and maintaining health. We contribute to increasing the accessibility of treatment in different ways.
