COMMUNITY SUPPORT, PRODUCT DONATIONS AND PATIENT GROUP SUPPORT
OUR FOCUS IS ON ACTIVITIES THAT BRING BENEFIT IN WAYS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH OUR BUSINESS OF IMPROVING HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE, AND PROMOTING THE VALUE OF SCIENCE.
AstraZeneca is committed to making a positive contribution to our local communities through charitable contributions, sponsorships and other initiatives.
AstraZeneca also responds to humanitarian appeals with financial and/or product donations, where there is a demonstrated public health need. We conform to the WHO Guidelines for drug donations and only donate our medicines through reputable, non- governmental organisations or well defined government programmes, where we are confident that the medicines will reach their intended recipients and will be used appropriately.
AstraZeneca supports the work of patient groups, through the provision of financial and in-kind assistance that seeks to enhance patient welfare. Our relationships with patient groups must always comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements, as well as applicable codes and our own supporting policies.
