    Our commitment to patients

    Johnson & Johnson is committed to help ease the challenges that people living with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases have to endure for the rest of their lives.

    Our goal is to improve the diagnosis of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, improve patients’ access to the best possible treatments and continue to provide new and better medicines

    We never underestimate the human impact of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases

    People living with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases can be affected for the rest of their lives, yet the impact of these conditions is dramatically underestimated. As some of these diseases are not readily recognised, people can suffer silently before eventually receiving treatment.

    Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases are the result of a relentless, internal, immunological ‘storm’, which can cause pain and discomfort that many people live with every day[1], [2], [3]. People may further experience stigma, isolation, decreased productivity and psychological issues[2], [4], [5], [6], [7]. And it’s not just them, their families and loved ones can be affected too[4] .

    Our mission is clear: we won’t rest until we achieve a world free from immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

    Working together to achieve a world where immune-mediated inflammatory diseases are a thing of the past

    Our commitment to immune-mediated inflammatory diseases goes beyond our medicines. We support patients through collaborations with patient advocacy organisations.

    We invest heavily in continuous medical education of doctors and care providers, uniting different therapeutic areas to share expertise and best practices.


    We also bring together the brightest minds, including doctors, nurses, patients and patient groups, scientists and policy makers to turn scientific discoveries into treatment breakthroughs, and to ensure that people can benefit from the best treatments when they need them.
