      Global Public Health

      As the world’s largest, most diversified healthcare products company, we are driven to foster better health for more people in more places around the world.

      While the world has made significant progress in providing improved healthcare, major gaps remain. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, bolder, smarter approaches are needed to overcome the drastic inequity in access to care—now more than ever.

      Through a dedicated Global Public Health (GPH) organization that combines world-class research and development, global strategy and external affairs capabilities, and local implementation and impact teams, we put the world’s most underserved at the heart of everything we do—measuring our success in lives improved.
