Access to Healthcare Programs and Partnerships in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Amgen is dedicated to working with global, regional and local stakeholders to improve health in low- and middle-income countries.
In low- and middle-income countries where we do not have a commercial presence, Amgen works with partners to strengthen health systems and provide medicines through a dedicated team in the Chief Medical Office. We do this through multi-year collaborations with international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and through various partnerships and targeted donation programs.
Supporting Healthier Systems for Healthier People
Our projects span the entire care pathway – from prevention, early detection and diagnosis to treatment and patient and caregiver support. We support programs focusing on capacity building, training, knowledge sharing and skills development.
