Sanofi’s commitment to patients extends beyond developing therapies. It also provides support and advocacy programs, educational materials, and other resources to inform and empower patients and their families.
Patient Community Promise
Our Patient Community Promise deepens our commitments to the global patient and health communities we serve and formalizes our accountability in this regard. It was developed in collaboration with patients, caregivers, and advocacy organizations, and we will continue to consult, involve, and work with these communities as we deliver on this Promise and its commitments.
Improving Patient Access to Treatment
Developing therapies isn’t enough. Sanofi also tries to address various barriers to treatment access globally.
Sanofi's Humanitarian Programs provide several of its therapies free to people for whom treatment may be financially or logistically beyond their means, and who qualify.
Even with free drug programs or other forms of funding like the Humanitarian Programs, patient access to treatment can still be impeded by other issues: logistical and bureaucratic difficulties, inadequate healthcare facilities, or lack of knowledge. In addition to donating its products, Sanofi collaborates with governments, healthcare providers, humanitarian organizations, and other local partners to overcome barriers to treatment, build sustainable healthcare systems, and improve standards of care.
