At sanofi-aventis we care about healthcare; because health matters.
It is through our dedication to advancing global healthcare that we have become one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, driven by the energy and passion of our people.
Our position and growth has been achieved through a broad offering of medicines, vaccines and integrated healthcare solutions, with sales reaching €29.3billion in 2009.
Historically we’ve concentrated on working to alleviate and cure common diseases - both chronic and acute in nature (focussing on cardiovascular medicine, thrombosis, oncology, internal medicine, metabolic disorders, diseases of the central nervous system and vaccines). Whilst this work remains important, we never rest on our laurels, and with one of the biggest referenced portfolios of products in the world, we are constantly looking at ways to improve and advance.
Sanofi-aventis UK works as part of our global operation to ensure we deliver healthcare at a local level. This means that, in the UK, we work in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS) and other relevant bodies to deliver a portfolio of medicines that meets the needs of patients.
We achieve this by bringing together the combined strengths of our sites across the UK, we’re all working to a common goal.
What’s more, with our global expertise, we’re able to draw on a wealth of research and development to produce new medicines in these key therapy areas, placing us in a strong position to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients; today and in the future.
