Caring for People
As healthcare experts, we improve people's well-being and quality of life through our scientific innovations, treatments and diagnostic and hospital solutions.
We strive to generate a positive impact on society beyond our business activities.
We work with more than 80 patient associations around the world to help increase disease awareness and diagnosis and we provide humanitarian aid and emergency support through NGO partners such as the World Federation of Hemophilia and Direct Relief.
As a strong proponent of universal access to medicines and healthcare, Grifols is taking important steps to help countries achieve self-sufficiency in plasma-derived medicines. Our sustained investments are contributing to more diverse sources of plasma as well as a greater number of therapies derived from it.
In this regard, our most recent international projects include an agreement with Canadian Blood Services to accelerate immunoglobulin self-sufficiency in Canada and a collaboration with the Egyptian government to develop the first integrated plasma-supply platform in Africa and the Middle East.
We also have programs to address specific needs of patients regarding access to treatment, such as the Grifols Assurance for Patients, the Grifols Patients Assistance and the Emergency Supply Systems.
Our commitment to people also includes a close and permanent collaboration with the scientific community, supporting its research efforts worldwide.

Our Foundations
In collaboration with hundreds of organizations and institutions worldwide, our three principal foundations (Probitas Foundation, Víctor Grifols i Lucas Foundation and J.A.

Examples of the foundations' work include: raising awareness of bioethics to healthcare professionals, young people and citizens; improving access to medical care in developing countries; providing nutritious meals to people at social risk; and leading or supporting educational initiatives to ensure equal opportunities.
