The Impact brand covers 30 products including insulin, glibenclamide and oxaliplatin, with Sanofi Global Health providing secure, non-profit distribution of these medicines to at-risk populations in 40 lower-income countries.
Considered essential by the World Health Organization, the medicines cover a wide range of therapeutic areas, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, malaria and cancer.
