Oncology and haematology are specialties of internal medicine which are often practised together and involve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancers and blood diseases using a multidisciplinary approach. Despite major advances in the treatment of cancer and blood disorders in recent years, there remain significant areas of unmet need with opportunities to improve efficacy and safety profiles and reduce side effects, as well as providing affordable treatment options.
At Accord, our goal is to improve patient access by providing affordable medicines that aim to make a real difference to patients’ lives. With a focus in speciality pharmaceuticals, we provide affordable alternatives in some of the most complex areas of medicine. By applying our innovative ways of thinking, we are bringing new therapies to market that may result in real world improvements for oncology and haematology patients.
Accord provides access to 95% of the European population with over 30 oncology therapies across Europe, allowing us to meet the treatment needs of patients with various types of cancer every year.
Building on our established heritage in oncology generics, we are introducing new medicines that bring added value and offer additional treatment options for patients.
With our oncology products, we undertake a preventative and protective approach to occupational exposure. Cytotoxic containing products undergo a rigorous cleaning protocol to minimise possible external residue before being wrapped in our PharmaShield® technology.
