Caring for people’s health

Our strategic priorities and values are the basis of our entire commitment to sustainable development in order to lead sustainable business and growth, while achieving a positive impact on people and their health, the economy and the environment. And we bring these to life everyday. For us, caring for people’s health is more than providing support for prevention and treatment through a complete range of STADA’s quality, reliable and affordable pharmaceutical products. It also involves raising awareness of personal health care and healthy lifestyles, while supporting public health care systems. Further, it is our civic duty to act as responsible citizens - we as individuals, we as a team and a society. This is exactly what makes us a partner of trust and choice when it comes to people’s health.

The pressure the employees were facing at that time was severe - They worked 24 hours, 7 days, in 4 shifts to make large quantities of medicine for everyone who needed it.
