Access to Medicines

Eli Lilly and Company is a leading innovation-driven pharmaceutical corporation. We are developing a growing portfolio of best-in-class – often first-in-class – medicines that meet patients' health care needs. Through our research programs we're seeking answers for some of the world's most urgent medical needs. As our products help people live longer, healthier lives, they also reduce overall health care costs - medicines are generally less expensive than other forms of health care, such as surgery and hospitalization.

Lilly believes that it is critical for patients to have access to our medicines that save and improve lives. Ensuring access to medicines requires that many organizations work together, including government, insurers, health care providers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Lilly will continue to lead and support efforts to improve access to our medicines.
