There are about 6,000 diseases identified as ¡°rare¡± affecting approximately 300 million people worldwide.

We in the pharmaceutical industry have much to learn from these patients about the challenges they face to achieve their best health and well-being, especially from patients¡¯ real voice.

Innovation starts from the passion to know.
I hope we take Rare Disease Day as an opportunity to learn about these patients¡¯ journey to find the right diagnoses and care for themselves and their families.

We believe our pursuit of innovation and exploration of scientific discovery will deliver life-changing value for those living with rare diseases and bring smiles to our patients.
