Innovation only matters when it reaches those who need it. Today, we are honored that Novartis has been ranked first in the 2024 Access to Medicine Index. This recognition reinforces our commitment to improving access to breakthrough medicines for people around the world, regardless of their location or socio-economic status. While we are grateful for this recognition, there is still a large unmet need for medicines —some life-changing, others potentially life-saving— and Novartis is committed to further broaden access to innovation and create sustainable impact. Thank you to our 70,000+ associates and our partners who work tirelessly to make inclusive healthcare a reality. Because every patient matters. Everywhere. #AccessToMedicine #Sustainability #HealthEquity Access to Medicine Foundation

Congratulations to Novartis and to all my former colleagues who collaborated with us to achieve this fantastic outcome! I am thrilled that our efforts have been recognized, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside each of you on this project! 🍾🥳👏🏻
As a healthcare professional at the frontlines of medicine, I can say access to life changing therapies is more difficult than ever. Innovations and approaches to ensuring life changing treatments are accessible is of vital importance and remains near and dear to my heart. I am happy to see steps in a positive direction. That being said, my direct experience with NPAF (Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation) continues to be one of immense struggle. The present requirements and process with NPAF has resulted in multiple patients who qualify for free medication with NPAF waiting in excess of 6-8 weeks for a determination. This is a common occurrence unfortunately seen by myself and many of my peers. While access itself is of vital importance, I would argue that timely access to these therapies is also a crucial component. I hope to see Novartis and NPAF address their current challenges in providing timely access to life changing therapies to our patients in need.
Over the past eight years I have followed this ranking from very close quarters. Finally, it feels so good to see Novartis take the top slot. This recognition resonates deeply with those of us who've seen healthcare disparities firsthand. It's not just about creating breakthrough medicines - it's about ensuring they reach every patient who needs them, wherever they are. Proud to be part of an organization where 'every patient matters' isn't just a phrase, but a lived commitment. Lucy Gugen Max Rein
