Biopharmaceutical Commitment Against COVID-19

In these unprecedented times, America’s biopharmaceutical companies are coming together to achieve one shared goal: the eradication of COVID-19. The decades-long investments we have made in new technology, research and treatments have prepared us to act swiftly:

• We are rapidly screening our vast global libraries of medicines to identify potential treatments and have numerous clinical trials underway to test new and existing therapies

• We are dedicating our top scientists and using our investments in new technologies to speed the development of safe and effective vaccines

• We are sharing the learnings from clinical trials in real time with governments and other companies to advance the development of additional therapies

• We are expanding our unique manufacturing capabilities and sharing available capacity to ramp up production once a successful medicine or vaccine is developed

• We are collaborating with government agencies, hospitals, doctors and others to donate supplies and medicines to help those affected around the world

• We are working with governments and insurers to ensure that when new treatments and vaccines are approved they will be available and affordable for patients

• We are coordinating with the governments and diagnostic partners to increase COVID-19 testing capability and capacity

• We are protecting the integrity of the pharmaceutical supply chain and keeping our plants open to maintain a steady supply of medicines for patients

• We are providing financial support and in-kind donations to organizations and patients around the globe

• We are working hard to protect our workforce and the communities where we live and work, having employees working from home whenever possible and keeping our salesforces out of hospitals and physicians’ offices

• We are remaining steadfast in our commitment to research and development of new medicines to prevent, treat and cure disease in all its forms, not just COVID-19 OUR COMMITMENT TO BEAT CORONAVIRUS
