Collaboration with patient groups
Novo Nordisk interacts with a wide variety of patient organisations as part of a shared goal of informing and supporting patients about their healthcare needs. We work with patient groups, often on a long-term basis, to raise disease awareness, including the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. These interactions provide Novo Nordisk with valuable insights about how living with diabetes or other conditions affects patients’ lives.
On the other hand support from pharmaceutical companies like ours helps patient advocates to carry out their work in support of patients and their caregivers. We conduct this type of collaboration in an open and transparent manner in order to ensure the independence and integrity of patient groups and our own high ethical standards. We seek to provide patient organisations with balanced and accurate information about available treatments that is in keeping with statutory regulations on the promotion and advertising of prescription medicines.
