What's the biggest challenge in preventing heart disease? People don't know they are at risk. And finding out, often requires a doctor's visit and blood tests. We're leveraging digital health solutions to help more people understand their risk. Partnering with health tech leader Huma, we expanded access to our Bayer Aspirin Heart Risk Assessment tool in Saudi Arabia, following its successful launch in the U.S. last year. This AI-powered tool is clinically validated and has demonstrated excellent predictive ability when compared to the standard of care. We have raised awareness among more than 3 million individuals about this tool that enables them to understand their risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) without invasive tests. #HealthForAll #HungerForNone Aquil Harjivan Amy Cappello Hossam Hassan Mohamed Atef Amr Nada Reese Fitzpatrick Daniela Cruvinel Mohamed Galal Mohamed Fadaly Doug Faherty Aleksandra Mirkanovic Amr semary Lama Al Kilani Karunakar Reddy Alberto A.J.

Imagine the story of the Sleeping Beauty took a twist, where it's not a prince's kiss, but period cramps that wake her up 👑🩸. For many girls, transitioning into puberty is far from fairy tale. Our Dorival brand, known for easing menstrual cramps and headaches is at the forefront of the "Princesses on Periods" campaign we did in partnership with MullenLowe Global. We're bringing Cinderella, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty out of their fairy-tale castles 🏰 and into real-life scenarios where they openly discuss their periods. This campaign is showing that menstruation is a natural part of life —even for princesses, and talking about periods can be as casual as any other topic. Join us in empowering young girls to embrace this new chapter with confidence and understanding.

Some people aren't lucky enough to get a check-up every year 🩺 How can we help them understand their risk of a heart attack and how to take the proper actions to take better care of themselves? Our Global SVP of Heart Health, Reese Fitzpatrick shares: "As I think of where we go with Aspirin in the next 125 years, the word that pops to my mind, all the time, is ACCESS. How do we provide greater access? Access to education, access to proper tools to understand your own heart health risk, and then access to the actual products, Aspirin and beyond. What you can do to really take more control of your own health.” Reese and our Head of R&D for North America, Rachel Koontz talked with David Ridley from HBW Insight and Citeline Commercial about how we're transforming our 125 years old brand.
