The Servier Group in Italy teams have launched a major information and awareness campaign on the importance of therapeutic adherence in treating chronic cardiovascular diseases.
An informative and engaged campaign
In partnership with the Italian Society for Cardiovascular Prevention (SIPREC), the Affetti Desiderati campaign provides patients with access to a range of educational materials that highlight the importance of therapeutic adherence for treating cardiovascular diseases. The objective is to build awareness among the general public and health care professionals on how important it is for patients to correctly follow their prescribed treatment to improve their quality of life.
Treatment adherence is a major public health issue. According to the WHO, less than 50% of patients around the world follow their prescribed treatment correctly1. This issue has a particular impact on patients with chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, which involve lifelong treatments.
“Therapeutic adherence is crucial for the Servier Group in Italy, through both its value and its impact in terms of corporate social responsibility. Leading the way in cardiometabolism, we have worked for years to build awareness among patients, health care professionals and Institutions on this issue.”
Viviana Ruggieri, Head of External Relations, Servier Group in Italy
