At AbbVie, we value our partnership with patient organizations as part of our commitment to maintaining a patient-focused approach in healthcare. We believe healthcare should prioritize prevention, treatment, and managing diseases, ensuring everyone gets access to quality medicines, services, and information. We support the importance of ensuring that patient organizations operate independently. It ensures that they can serve the needs of the patients and caregivers they represent.

Patient organizations play an important role in supporting patients and their family throughout their healthcare journey, offering education and various services. They act as a voice for patients, advocating for their needs and interests within the healthcare system, research, and access to care.

We have a dedicated Patient Engagement team that focuses on building meaningful collaborations with various groups, including patient organizations. This team's efforts support a variety of programs, tools, and initiatives aimed at improving healthcare outcomes and addressing the needs of patients throughout their journey. AbbVie is committed to supporting patients & care partners, reinforcing our patient-focused approach in healthcare.

Engaging with patient organizations creates opportunities for collaboration aimed at improving healthcare by addressing unmet needs and enhancing patient support through research, diagnosis, treatment, and beyond.

By sharing insights and experiences, these organizations provide a deeper understanding of patient challenges. This collaboration fosters discussions and ideas to evolve the healthcare landscape, aiming to build trust, understanding, and shared objectives for better health outcomes.
