With people at the heart of our mission, Viatris is committed to representing and capturing the diverse voices of patients and caregivers and joining together for advocacy. As both a caretaker and a caregiver, people often experience a lack of power and limited access to information at a time when they may be at their most vulnerable. We work with many patient advocacy organizations to help provide patients and caregivers with access to information, grow their knowledge and leverage the power of their collective voice to raise awareness. Together with patient organizations and academia, we engage in education, research, sponsorships, awareness events and policy efforts with the goal to empower patients.
