Healthcare

The work of our Healthcare business can help to make a difference to millions of lives. We put our patients at the center of everything we do.


Our Healthcare business aims to change lives

With a holistic approach, we design and develop medicines and intelligent devices that provide ongoing care for patients beyond their treatment. This includes new medications to treat conditions such as cancer or multiple sclerosis (MS), but also innovative technologies that make life easier for patients. For example, our injection device and disease monitoring software allow patients with MS to self-inject their medicine and monitor its administration. With cancer, our precise approach uses biomarkers that can match potential treatment to individual patients.

Our goal is to support people at every stage of life – also when it comes to helping create new life. We have helped many women and couples achieve their dream of having a baby. As the global market leader in fertility treatments, we do what we do with passion – and we think further ahead. We have complemented our portfolio by fertility technologies, aiming to further increase the possibility of in vitro fertilization (IVF) success.
