Worth
fighting for
We have made it our ambition to be the company that
makes the biggest difference worldwide in the treatment
of patients suffering from brain disorders
rain disorders such as depression,
schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s
disease, to name but a few, inflict
a huge amount of suffering on patients, as
well as sorrow and despair on their relatives.
Hundreds of millions of people in the world
suffer from brain disorders. In spite of
therapeutic progress, unfortunately, we remain
a long way from fully understanding these
disorders. There are immense unmet needs,
not only for medication, but also for entire
solutions in which therapy and updated
information about the disorders are crucial
factors.
Unfortunately, public awareness and the resources
spent on curing and alleviating brain disorders are
a long way from matching the severity and
consequences of these disorders. Brain disorders
place an enormous economic burden on society
because they reduce or eliminate the patient’s
ability to work.
At Lundbeck, we have made it our ambition
to be the company that makes the biggest difference
worldwide in the treatment of patients suffering
from brain disorders. Assuming this responsibility
is an enormous task, but it is also an incredible
joy when we succeed in developing a new and
innovative drug that benefits people worldwide.
In this magazine, we present a cross section of
our world. I hope you will find it a pleasure to
read, and that it will provide insight into who
we are and what Lundbeck stands for.
Yours sincerely
Ulf Wiinberg
President & CEO
