Viatris Celebrates 5th Anniversary
The Creation of Viatris
At Viatris, we see healthcare not as it is but as it should be. We act courageously and are uniquely positioned to be a source of stability in a world of evolving healthcare needs.
In November 2020, Viatris was formed through the combination of Mylan and Upjohn, with a mission of empowering people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life. Viatris’ name is rooted in Latin and embodies a vision of providing a path (“VIA”) to three (“TRIS”) critical goals: expanding access to medicines, leading by innovating to meet patient needs, and being a trusted partner for the healthcare community worldwide.
As a leading UK medicine supplier, we are proud to serve 5 million UK patients annually with high-quality medicine and support the evolution, education and transformation of the NHS via Access, Leadership and Partnership
The Evolution of Mylan
For nearly 60 years, increasing access to high quality medicine and improving patient health was Mylan’s mission. Mylan was founded in 1961 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, to ensure access to affordable medicine in difficult-to-reach communities.
The Legacy of Upjohn www.viatris.co.uk www.viatris.co.uk
Born out of Pfizer’s Established Medicines division, Upjohn was created as a standalone business in 2018 within Pfizer. Its mission was to relieve the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) with trusted, quality medicines for every patient, everywhere.
We are committed to partnering with others to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life. As a proud patron member of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce, we put our values into action, support our sustainability goals, Top Employer status, and community-building initiatives by sponsoring events, such as the Women in Leadership Conference and the Inspiring Hertfordshire Awards.
