Objectives
Increase the number of patients treated and, as a result, improve patients’ quality of life and survival rate.
Teva’s social business access program in France is dedicated to supporting people living in poverty, migrants and people experiencing homelessness or suffering from chronic diseases—who all need regular medication. The program is in partnership with Pharmacie Humanitaire International (PHI), an organization that facilitates medicine delivery to charitable care centers where patients can receive free medicines, consultations and social services.
This is a social business program, which involves selling products at very low cost to a nonprofit organization in order to make a sustainable, positive impact. The products included in the program help treat cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, pain and mental health.
Teva has committed to a three-year partnership to provide medicines for patients in the program. Since this is a social business program, we expect the program to continue as long as it is sustainable and meets the needs of patients and partners.
Results and milestones
The program has reached approximately 100,000 people to-date, and in 2023, Teva provided about 2 million doses of medicine.
