Introduction to GPS (Gilead Patient Solutions)
In some parts of the world, progress feels inevitable. Access is often taken for granted and the next life-saving innovation is always on the horizon. In other parts of the world, access to essential health services is in doubt and treatable diseases affect thousands of lives every day.
Gilead is a bridge to a healthier world. Building on our legacy, we forge connections -- between patients and their communities, across borders, between public health, providers and private industry -- to create solutions that address critical health inequities in low- and middle-income countries.
Together, we deliver healthcare access and choice to the people and places that need it most.
We have had a pivotal role in the history of providing access to life-saving medicines in low- and middle-income countries with decades of experience in pioneering novel, collaborative approaches. More than 30 years on, we remain steadfast in our commitment to expanding access to healthcare for everyone, everywhere through sustainable solutions that will have an impact for generations to come.
We are committed to broad patient reach through pioneering access programs that touch all parts of the healthcare ecosystem
We are the largest private funder of non-profit HIV programs in the world and in the U.S.
Gilead is committed to creating a healthier world for everyone.
Today, half the world's population lacks access to essential basic health services. To change this, we must innovate - by developing new medicines AND by ensuring their impact wherever the unmet need is greatest.
That's why for decades we have partnered with governments, communities and other stakeholders worldwide to expand access to medicines, help address the root causes of health inequities and end epidemics of HIV, hepatitis and other diseases in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
