Our goal is to find new ways to improve and extend people's lives, and we are at the forefront of developing innovative approaches to facilitate access to high quality medicines around the world. This is our contribution to the community to better address the growing health needs. Our role in access to health At Sandoz, we believe that better health outcomes around the world can be achieved if more people are trained to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and if the right drugs can reach more patients. For us, access is not just a market strategy, but an integral part of our own business model. Activities and goals of our health access programs, as well as the number of patients reached, can be found in thecorporate responsibility report . The world faces a double challenge: on the one hand, a significant part of the population still does not have access to even the most essential drugs; on the other hand, the costs of healthcare and their financial impact on society and individuals continue to rise 1 .

We believe that all companies need: Develop medical skills Expand access to medicines Improve access to health information We believe that new business approaches are needed to improve the accessibility and availability of generic and innovative medicines in a sustainable and large-scale way. There can be no one-size-fits-all approach to accessing health care - that's why, for example, we developed Novartis Access .
