Voluntary Disclosure of Payments to Healthcare Professionals and Healthcare Organizations for January through December 2024


In June 2017, AbbVie, in collaboration with other Canadian pharmaceutical companies as part of Innovative Medicines Canada, made a landmark move towards transparency by releasing aggregated data on their payments to Canadian Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Healthcare Organizations (HCOs).

This move enhances transparency with our well-regulated and valuable partnerships, fostering better understanding of the collaborations across our sector. It is a critical stride in building trust and adding value to both patients and the broader healthcare system.

The Voluntary Framework on Disclosure was developed by Innovative Medicines Canada, underscores our commitment as a key player in Canada’s healthcare ecosystem. AbbVie actively engages with HCPs and HCOs to promote scientific exchange, all to benefit patients. These collaborations adhere to local and international laws and the Code of Ethical Practices from Innovative Medicines Canada. Our decision to voluntarily disclose payments to HCPs and HCOs reflects our dedication to transparency and maintaining high ethical standards.

AbbVie is determined to advance and refine this framework by working closely with healthcare stakeholders to better address their needs.
