Cooperation with patient organizations

The patient comes first

For Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, one of the world's leading specialty pharmaceutical companies, patients' health always comes first. Exchanging ideas and information with patient organizations on the basis of mutual trust is an important component of our work.

Such cooperation helps us to understand the needs of patients as they come to terms with their illness. This enables us to gear our research and development to these needs and to continue working on improved, new drugs and therapies.

Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals cooperates with patient organizations in all kinds of therapeutic areas. We attach great importance to transparency in this context and protect the independence of our cooperation partners.

Our principles

Cooperation between Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals and patient organizations is based on the following principles.

1. In order to provide patients with quality medical healthcare, a partnership with a patient organization pursues a specific objective concentrating on one or more of the following areas:

raising awareness for certain diseases by improving diagnostic possibilities and preventive measures,
knowing the patients' prospects and needs,
understanding diseases and making sure that patients receive the best medical treatment available,
improving the information provided to the patients,
supporting medical innovations.

2. Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals and the patient organizations comply with international and national laws and regulations.

3. Cooperation with a patient organization should neither influence decisions on a therapy nor promote or support specific therapies.

4. Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals respects the neutrality and independence of patient organizations. Cooperation is based on a partnership between equals in which transparency and clarity are fundamental principles. This is why we also provide information on the extent and nature of support.
