Better Health, Brighter Future
Access to Medicines
More than two billion people around the world still do not have access to medicines, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) often facing the highest burden of disease. At Takeda, we’re committed to broadening sustainable access to our innovative medicines in LMICs and in countries with evolving healthcare systems. We do this by working collaboratively to strengthen local healthcare systems and by addressing barriers to access at each stage of the patient journey.
2022 Progress Report
Our 2022 Progress Report articulates our approach to access to medicines and highlights key initiatives aimed at broadening access in LMICs by building sustainable capacity, creating innovative affordability programs and collaborating with policymakers to drive meaningful change.
