About Astellas

At Astellas we are a progressive health partner, delivering value and outcomes where needed.

We pursue innovative science, focussing initially on the areas of greatest potential and then developing solutions where patient need is high, often in rare or under-served disease areas and in life-threatening or life-limiting diseases and conditions.

Our global vision for Patient Centricity is to support the development of innovative health solutions through a deep understanding of the patient experience.

We work closely with regulatory authorities and payers to find new ways to ensure access to new therapies.

Beyond medicines, we support our stakeholder communities to drive initiatives that improve awareness, education, access and ultimately standards of care.
