PhRMA members are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, happier, and more productive lives. Prescription medicines give value - medical, social and economic value.
Medicines save lives, relieve pain, cure and prevent disease.
Medicines help keep families together longer and improve the quality of life for patients. Medicines keep employees on the job and productive in the community. To attack debilitating or fatal diseases in the developing world requires much more than the right medication. Roads, sanitation, rudimentary health education and awareness, sufficient budget resources and effective public health policies all are needed if health services are to be accessible, sustainable and effective.
