We discover and develop medicines and vaccines for millions of people around the world. But that’s not enough if people can’t access them.

We know that not everyone who needs our medicines and vaccines can get them – whether because of an inability to see a doctor for a diagnosis or to pay for a needed treatment. This is why we work carefully to help ensure access to medicines, vaccines and healthcare on a global scale.

In the United States, we are working to support much-needed reform of the country’s healthcare system so people have insurance coverage. In the meantime, we continue to make available and enhance our Patient Assistance Program so the uninsured can receive our medicines and vaccines for free.

In other parts of the world, the need to enable access to medicines and vaccines can be greater and even more complex. We have created numerous programs and public/private partnerships to help improve healthcare capacity and improve access to our products so all can benefit, wherever they live.
