Reducing Health Disparities

The Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation helps reduce health disparities around the world.

The Foundation engages partners to develop, execute, evaluate and promote innovative programs to improve the health outcomes of populations disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa; hepatitis in Asia; type 2 diabetes; mental health and well-being in the U.S.; and cancer in Europe. In addition, we also support other charitable initiatives that meet our criteria.
