Improving healthcare

Partnership projects to improve healthcare worldwide

Millions of people in developing countries have no access to basic healthcare. We give patients access to medicines, initiate and implement educational programs, and support research activities to reduce global disparities in medical care.

As a research-based pharmaceutical company, Bayer Schering Pharma is a member of national and international pharmaceutical associations. Arthur Higgins, Chairman of the Board of Management, is currently President of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). In his vision on creating viable, sustainable health systems, Higgins stresses the importance of partnership solutions to give patients equal access to safe medicines and to promote innovation.

Broad network

Together with various partners, we have been active for many years in many projects aimed at a fairer supply of medicines. In a broad network made up of international organizations, governments, private companies, and non-government organizations, we are committed to enabling everybody to exercise their right to health. In the fight against tropical diseases, for example, we cooperate with the World Health Organization (WHO). On a national level, Bayer Schering Pharma cooperates with the Medical Mission Institute Wuerzburg. In addition, the company is involved in educational and preventive healthcare projects.

We are also engaged in a dialog with our interest groups. Regular discussions with politicians, governmental and non-government organizations help us to adjust our business strategy according to societal demands, in order to improve healthcare in a sustainable way all over the world.
