Social: Her Equity
We are working to help women and girls achieve their promise through better health.
Health is at the root of sustainable development for individuals, communities, and societies. In addition, gender equity is an important indicator and contributor to economic growth. Women’s health should be a priority everywhere in the world.
We are working toward a better and healthier every day for every woman by bringing forward the innovations needed to support women’s health, expanding access to medicines and other products, and advancing equity inside and outside the company.
