We believe that everyone should have access to the medicines they need to live a healthy and fulfilled life.
To improve the health and quality of life of patients.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought into sharp focus the importance of health security and the need to find innovative solutions to support the global efforts aimed at ensuring that patients everywhere get the medicines they need.
We support the World Health Organization's ("WHO's") promotion of Universal Health Coverage and are committed to advancing the goals and outcomes of the UN SDG3 of "ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages".
We believe that our industry position as a global pharmaceutical company, with a relevant portfolio of medicines and strategic manufacturing capability, is the most fundamental way in which we contribute to increasing access to medicines and furthering the global goal of universal access to healthcare. We have one common goal in everything we do – to deliver high quality, affordable medicines to the patients who need them.
We are proud of our contribution to the global response to COVID-19 through the delivery of life-saving medicines, including the manufacture of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine at our flagship Gqeberha-based manufacturing site in South Africa and we stand ready to supply our branded Aspenovax vaccine to meet Africa's future needs. We are similarly pleased to have concluded the collaboration agreement with Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd ("Serum Institute") to manufacture, market and distribute four Aspen-branded vaccines in Africa that are critical to the continent's public health programme. With the support offered by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations ("CEPI"), we are committed to expanding durable vaccine manufacturing at our Gqeberha site thus furthering the objective of health security for Africa.
Through these actions we have been true to our credo of Healthcare. We Care.
