Patient Group Support
"We believe our first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses and patients, to mothers and fathers and
all others who use our products and services." - Our Credo.
At Janssen-Cilag our primary responsibility is to the patients to whom we provide many essential medicines, across a wide range of therapeutic areas. In connection with Our Credo responsibilities to patients, we seek ways to improve patient access, education and outcomes. Important in this regard are the patient groups that work hard in the interests of their members and contribute so much to patient communities. We consider it our responsibility to support projects that aim to increase education, reduce stigma and support families living with many conditions.
By engaging with these organisations and providing support where possible we can improve the level of knowledge concerning available treatments and practices surrounding the treatment process; thereby leading to an improvement in the health of the patients and effectiveness of the treatments. We are proud to support these groups and take an open and transparent approach to our association with them.
