Support Policies to Improve Patient Access to Care
When I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, I didn’t know what the future would hold. I just knew I wanted a chance to fight.
Patients are at the core of what we do.
Their will, strength and stories inspire biopharmaceutical researchers to fight illness at every level. Advocates are also valuable partners in the tireless pursuit of revolutionary treatments and cures.
Everything we do is about patients. We’re working to drive patient-centered progress in innovation, affordability and access and are pushing for necessary, positive and long-term change to better address the needs of diverse communities. Here, patients share stories around the life-changing impact of new medicines.

Dealing with AIHA isn’t easy, and managing care can be just as hard as the symptoms. While current treatments work, I still hope for new medications that could make life easier.
Equally important to the fight for innovation are the family members, friends and caregivers of all types who give voice to the needs of others. Read the stories of those bringing visibility to issues that might have been left unseen.
