About Astellas:
At Astellas we are a progressive health partner, delivering value and outcomes
where needed.
We pursue innovative science, focusing initially on the areas of greatest
potential and then developing solutions where patient need is high, often in
rare or under-served disease areas and in life-threatening or life-limiting
diseases and conditions.
We work directly with patients, doctors and health care professionals on the
front line to ensure patient and clinical needs are guiding our development
activities at every stage.
Our global vision for Patient Centricity is to support the development of
innovative health solutions through a deep understanding of the patient
experience. At Astellas, Patient Centricity isn’t a buzzword - it’s a guiding
principle for action. We believe all staff have a role to play in creating a
patient-centric culture and integrating an awareness of the patient into our
everyday working practices, regardless of our role, team or division.
We work closely with regulatory authorities and payers to find new ways to
ensure access to new therapies. We deliver the latest insights and real-world
evidence to inform the best decisions for patients and their care-givers, to
ensure the medicines we develop continue to provide meaningful outcomes.
Beyond medicines, we support our stakeholder communities to drive initiatives
that improve awareness, education, access and ultimately standards of care.
