Patients at the Center

Chiesi recognizes each patient as a unique individual and an integral part of the broader community we share. Patient care goes beyond drug development, encompassing the entire healthcare journey. To ensure our solutions meet real needs, we actively collaborate with patient communities, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders. Our “Patient Journey” framework captures the full spectrum of a patient’s experience, from risk assessment and diagnosis to treatment and aftercare. It guides Chiesi’s processes and projects, ensuring patient needs are central to decision-making.

Health Equity

Chiesi’s Health Equity strategy seeks to eliminate healthcare barriers and reduce inequities, ensuring everyone can lead healthier lives. Aligned with Agenda 2030 and our mission to improve life quality, the strategy evolves continuously.

  • Determinants of Health: Addressing non-medical factors like social and environmental conditions that influence health outcomes. We aim to map these determinants in our operations and enhance prevention projects to better serve vulnerable populations.

     

  • Access to Healthcare: Ensuring timely, sustainable access to care and treatment worldwide, focusing on underserved populations in both low- and high-income regions. Initiatives include partnerships with distributors and a dedicated Global Health function to expand access.

     

  • Measurement and Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborating with stakeholders to design impactful projects and establish effective metrics for measuring health equity outcomes. By engaging the pharmaceutical sector, we advocate for a unified approach to impact measurement.

 

Pricing Philosophy

At Chiesi, we are committed to ensuring that patients worldwide have access to high-quality healthcare solutions. We strive to balance the need for innovation with maintaining the highest standards of quality.
By collaborating with healthcare providers, governments, and other stakeholders, we aim to create a pricing strategy that reflects our dedication to improving patient outcomes and fostering long-term partnerships.

 

 

 

 

Global Health

Aware of the huge inequalities in access to appropriate care in resource-constrained settings, Chiesi wants to be part of the change in bridging gaps to reduce the burden of neonatal mortality. Our dedicated Global Health team focuses on increasing access to quality treatment for small and sick newborns and their families in Sub-Saharan African countries.

We aim to achieve this by establishing a sustainable business model that ensures the long-term accessibility and availability of life-saving neonatal medications.
This innovative model reinvests in capacity-building programs, including training and education, to strengthen the local healthcare system.
To ensure equitable access and generate a broader impact, multi-stakeholder partnerships are essential. We focus on collaborating with various stakeholders, including local governments, clinical communities, parent associations, multilateral organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and international donors.
We strongly believe that every newborn counts, everywhere, and together we can make a difference.
