Non-Cash Contributions

Product Donations

On a very limited basis, Roche donates some of its medicines for non-domestic medical relief and assistance under special circumstances. These donated products are distributed only through selected medical relief organizations.

Patient Assistance Programs

The Roche Patient Assistance Foundation provides our drugs for free to thousands of patients each year who lack prescription coverage and the means to pay for the medications they need. In 2003 alone, Roche distributed over $110 million worth of drugs to patients through our Programs.

Since starting one of the first industry-based programs in the early 1960s, we have been setting the standard for patient assistance. We have folders bursting with letters and photos from grateful patients, families and physicians - each a testament to how Roche touches lives, one patient at a time.

We remain committed to making sure every patient who needs our drugs gets them, whether they are a senior citizen being treated for cancer or a member of a working family facing an organ transplant.
