Our Purpose at Sandoz is clear: pioneering access for patients We focus on driving access to make a difference for patients and are already doing so in a very real way. How? We specialize in the development of generic and biosimilar medicines. That means we develop more affordable versions of high-quality medicines once their key patents have expired. For us, pioneering access for patients means going new ways in how we develop new products in line with patient needs, how we produce cutting-edge medicines at prices people can afford, and how we get the medicines to the patients who need them. As the leading supplier of such medicines – which account for around 80% of medicines worldwide – we make access to high-quality medicines more affordable. Why? Because medicines can only transform lives when they reach those who need them. While they can be powerful, originator medicines are often too expensive for many healthcare systems and patients. Developing off-patent medicines makes them more affordable and accessible. Going forward, we expect to make an even bigger difference to those who need affordable, sustainable and high-quality healthcare.
