Affordability and pricing

We drive accessibility of medicines for diverse, equitable and inclusive patient groups, through company policy and programming, including core pricing principles and access programmes.

There are four key principles that drive sustainable affordability: 

• Sustainability: of both the healthcare system and our research-led business model 
• Value: reflects the clinical benefit of our medicines to patients, and the broader impact on society, along with the positive economic impact to the healthcare system by reducing the need for additional medical intervention 
• Access: collaboration with payers and providers on solutions to enable sustainable access to our medicines 
• Flexibility: in pricing to reflect variation in health system needs and ability to pay
