In their own words

“Bringing breakthroughs to more patients At Novartis, we don’t just discover life-changing medicines, we're part of a broader effort to help ensure medicines reach the people who need them most, wherever they live, because the true value of innovation lies in its ability to improve lives.”

Read the rest of the statementShow less of the statement

“Ensuring people everywhere can benefit from the latest medical breakthroughs is a shared global responsibility – one we care deeply about and work hard to uphold through our science, value and access initiatives, and government and community partnerships. Yet, this shared responsibility has grown out of balance, with a disproportionate burden placed on certain countries and even patients. Our mission is simple: push the boundaries of science and ensure every breakthrough reaches those who need it fairly, affordably, and without delay because every patient deserves a future shaped by innovation. https://www.novartis.com/news/bringing-breakthroughs-more-patients […]”
