Innovative products and services
Improving healthcare
 
For more than 100 years, Roche has developed products that have been milestones in drug therapy. Our focus on innovation is still evident in our products and services today – we are global market leader in a number of major therapeutic areas. Eight of our ten best-selling drugs were the first marketed products of their kind, and some are still unique.

Our products and services can help to prevent and cure diseases, hasten recovery or alleviate symptoms – helping to improve quality of life and even save lives. They can also provide economic benefits by reducing treatment times, minimising hospital stays and helping people return to work faster.

Our Pharmaceuticals Division discovers, develops, manufactures and markets our innovative medicines. We are particularly focused on molecular medicine, which helps provide more targeted therapies and personalised healthcare.

Roche Diagnostics supplies products and services for scientific research, clinical laboratories and patient self-monitoring. Diagnostics – especially modern genetic tests – play an increasingly important role in healthcare. They enable doctors to detect early on whether patients are predisposed to disease, to establish whether patients will respond to a particular medicine and to monitor how they respond to treatment.

The more we know about the causes of disease, the more accurately we can diagnose them. As the world’s leading supplier of such tests, Roche Diagnostics aims to give doctors, patients and healthcare payers the best possible access to reliable information so they can make rapid and appropriate clinical decisions.

Supporting innovation
Innovation is the core of our business strategy and the secret of our success. Patients’ health is our top priority – driving our efforts to create innovative solutions to address unmet medical needs and thus add real value back to society.

We also have a network of external innovation partners. We invest in emerging technologies that we identify as critical to our R&D pipeline, and work with commercial and academic partners that complement our areas of focus in research.
