Comprehensive Care Programs for Global Health Priority Diseases

Environmental hazards are significantly impacting human health by worsening certain diseases, straining health systems, and disproportionately affecting vulnerable and marginalized populations. This issue is particularly severe in low- and middle-income countries but affects individuals and communities worldwide.

Our Initiatives

We are focus on diseases considered global health problems, especially those worsened by environmental challenges, such as respiratory diseases and diabetes, with the design of comprehensive access to care programs that include:

Awareness and Education

Raising awareness and educating communities about health risks and disease prevention.

Healthcare Capability Building

Training healthcare practitioners and caregivers to enhance healthcare capabilities.

Policy Strengthening

Collaborating with health authorities to strengthen policies for better disease diagnosis and management.

Affordable Solutions‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Providing affordable healthcare solutions where appropriate.

We concentrate our efforts on regions with the highest disease burden, unmet needs, and strong political commitment to tackle these diseases. Sustainable and equitable access to care is a shared responsibility involving diverse stakeholders, including health authorities, policymakers, payers, care providers, and global organizations. By finding solutions along the patient care pathway and adapting different access models, we ensure we meet the specific needs of healthcare systems and local populations.

AccesS Diabetes

As part of Sanofi long-standing commitment to ensure sustainable and equitable access to Diabetes care for underserved population in all geographies, we are working with the governments in several low- and middle-income countries, such as Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa. The “AccesS Diabetes” initiative co created with global/local actors spans across crucial aspects of the patient journey, including awareness and screening capacity; patient support initiatives, healthcare practitioner training, and provision of analogue insulins at an adapted price.

Kids and Diabetes in Schools (KiDS)

Since 2013, we have partnered with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) to bring diabetes education to schools. The aim of this program is to fight diabetes-related stigma and promote healthy lifestyles to tackle the preventable risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
