Bristol-Myers Squibb lives its mission to enhance and extend human life every day not only by providing innovative medicines to patients, but also by helping those in need gain access to those medicines. Working alone and with partners, the company seeks to lift barriers to treatment for people whose circumstances may prevent them from purchasing its products on their own.

Many of the company's prescription medications are provided without charge in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

It also maintains a policy of not enforcing patents for its HIV medicines in sub-Saharan Africa. Read more about our Product Donations Worldwide.
