New Healthcare Solutions Beyond Medicine (Rx+)

Astellas aims to contribute and provide VALUE to patients in various ways, not limited to treatment with drugs but across the whole patient journey (overall medical care, including diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic and prognostic care). We refer to this non-pharma activity as our Rx+® businesses.

 

We aspire to realize “a world where people can live mentally and physically healthy lives and be true to themselves through healthcare solutions based on scientific evidence”. Rx+® businesses leverage the expertise and knowledge of Astellas built through its prescription drug business and aim to provide VALUE to patients across the patient journey, through exploring new and innovative science and technologies that are not pharmaceutical in nature. We are taking a bold approach by seeking to create new and sustainable businesses that are independent from our existing pharmaceutical business. Leveraging our deep scientific understanding, unique capabilities, and leading expertise, we believe we can revolutionize healthcare solutions.
