We have a challenging and inspiring mission: to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.<\/p>\n
This mission gives us the purpose to develop innovative medicines and products that help millions of people around the world.<\/p>\n
Headquartered in the UK, we are a global organisation with offices in over 100 countries and major research centres in the UK, USA, Spain, Belgium and China.<\/p>\n
But being a leader brings responsibility.<\/p>\n
This means that we care about the impact that we have on the people and places touched by our mission to improve health around the world.<\/p>\n
It also means that we must help developing countries where debilitating disease affects millions of people and access to life-changing medicines and vaccines is a problem.<\/p>\n
To meet this challenge, we are committed to providing discounted medicines where they are needed the most.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We are one of the few healthcare companies researching both medicines and vaccines for the World Health Organization\u2019s three priority diseases \u2013 HIV\/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and are very proud to have developed some of the leading global medicines in these fields.<\/p>\n
We produce medicines that treat major disease areas such as asthma, anti-virals, infections, mental health, diabetes, cardiovascular and digestive conditions.<\/p>\n
In addition, we are a leader in the important area of vaccines and are developing new treatments for cancer.<\/p>\n
