Patient Advocacy

At Daiichi Sankyo Belgium, our motto 'Passion for Innovation. Compassion for Patients' extends beyond the development of medicines. Patient centricity is a key component in how we think and work.

By adopting a mindset that is centered on caring for patients we understand that:

1. people are experts in their own condition and have a unique perspective about the healthcare and wellbeing outcomes that matter to them
2. people have the right to be involved in what impacts them, including the development of new (innovative) medicines

This commitment to incorporate patient and caregiver voices and experiences allows Daiichi Sankyo Belgium to address the outcomes that matter for patients, improve patient care, and help close the gaps that exist between medicine innovation and patient centred care. Ultimately, helping us deliver on our global purpose to enrich the quality of life of people around the world.

How We Work with Patients: Patient Advocacy and Collaboration for Better Health Outcomes

At Daiichi Sankyo Belgium we work with Patient Organisations, Patients, and their Caregivers, to support their priorities. In recognising the variety of patient experiences and needs, Daiichi Sankyo Belgium aspires to develop more effective healthcare solutions that focus on patient care.
