Discover how we can help preserve our healthcare systems for current and future generations.
BD is committed to help preserving our healthcare systems for the long term, ensuring that both current and future generations will have access to safe, high-quality care while keeping the health of our planet in mind.
We are looking forward to a future where patient safety, healthcare workers well-being, efficiency of care delivery and environmental sustainability go hand in hand.
To bring this vision to life, we are committed to:
Innovating for the future
Innovating for the future isn’t just about shiny new technology. It’s about creating innovative solutions to shape the future standards of healthcare. Together, we can develop medical technologies that make healthcare more sustainable for the long term and address the challenges of tomorrow. At BD, we are innovating to make a difference to the generations of patients and healthcare workers to come.
Caring for people and our planet
We are committed to help improve patient care while limiting its environmental impact, recognising the intrinsic connection between the health of our planet and the health of its people. We support our customers to build more efficient processes and increase patient safety, while delivering our BD science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. 1,2
Addressing challenges along the patient journeys
Healthcare faces acute challenges such as patient adverse events, healthcare workers shortages and burnout and inefficiencies in care delivery - each one having the potential to undermine the future ability of healthcare institutions to deliver safe, high-quality care. To address these challenges, BD has developed Signature Programmes, each one bringing a full range of technologies, services and capabilities that help address these systemic challenges in a systemic way.
Building long-term partnerships
Our work touches billions of people in nearly every country in the world. We are proud of our long-standing partnerships with many of the world’s largest hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, research centres, and more. We form deep bonds through understanding, shared values, and trust, and will continue to prioritise strategic partnerships.
Two critical themes are emerging at the core of this transformation: the sustainability and the resilience of our healthcare systems.
BD has released the 2024 edition of the BD Healthcare Resilience Barometer which sets out to explore what can drive or threaten the resilience of healthcare systems in 100 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
