Support for European Patient Organizations
Relationships with European Patient Organizations
Abbott has a proud history of working with patient organizations in Europe
and throughout the world.
Patient organizations provide valuable information and support to patients
and to the people that care for them, such as family and friends. We believe
that we can support these organizations in their efforts to help patients
understand and manage their disease.
Abbott’s relationships with patient organizations are based on trust,
respect and mutual benefit. We aim for transparency and high ethical standards
in all of our relationships.
We learn about issues of concern to patients and together, look for ways to
address them in the best possible way. By building sustainable relationships,
we also work toward advancing dialogue around healthcare issues and together,
can seek ways to ensure optimal delivery of healthcare.
Our support to patient organizations takes the forms of event support,
organizational support, patient education and caregiver education.
