Innovation in Patient Access
In the U.S., The Roche Foundation was established in 1947. In 1963, Roche became the first company in the pharmaceutical industry to introduce a formal Indigent Patient Program to provide the cancer drug fluorouracil free to people who couldn't afford it. The program was extended to Roche's full product line in 1967.
