Daiichi Sankyo is participating in Access Accelerated, which was established in 2017 by more than 20 pharmaceutical companies from Japan, the United States, and Europe in partnership with the World Bank and the Union for International Cancer Control, among others, with the purpose of improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and other aspects of NCDs* in low-income and lower-middle income countries.

Access Accelerated is working to improve access to healthcare in target countries to achieve one of the targets of Goal 3 of the SDGs: “By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being.”

*Non-Communicable Diseases  such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes.
