Patient Partnerships (PPat)

The Patient Partnerships (PPat) Team is focused on building trusted relationships with patients and advocacy organizations worldwide, seeking to understand the person as well as the medical need. PPat actively engages with patients and caregivers around the world to listen and understand their journey to enable patient-centered decisions within Astellas. Through open dialogue and access to our organization, we are able to not only learn from patients to inform care delivery, but also better address their needs in our drug discovery and development efforts.
 

Whether you’re a family member worried about a loved one, or a patient anxious about what the future holds, everyone has a story to tell.
 

Across the world, we’re reshaping our business to hear your stories, connect your insights with our global team members and transform our understanding of what health means in the real world.

We want to hear from you!

Working with the advocacy community

We work collaboratively to ensure the medicines we develop reflect what truly matters to patients, families and caregivers. We do this in several ways, including one-to-one interviews, focus groups, surveys and insight panels with patients.
 

By engaging, listening and collaborating, we are dedicated to working together to understand and improve every individual’s healthcare experience.
 

To ensure we continually do what is right for patients, this is our promise to patients, advocacy organizations and patient communities.
