For millions of patients, a sustainable, resilient supply chain isn’t just a priority—it’s essential. Sustainable production and distribution practices not only protect supply chains from disruption but also play a crucial role in keeping medicines accessible.

By adopting sustainable production and distribution practices and exploring innovative pricing approaches, we can help prevent medicine shortages and make sure patients get the treatments they need, when they need them.

Watch this video to learn the perspectives of some of the patient advocates from the Making Access Happen community on why accessible pricing and a stable supply of medicines impact everyone.
