Community

For more than 110 years, BD has consistently applied its technologies, resources and institutional knowledge to help address fundamental health issues. The Company works with others to help meet underappreciated and emerging healthcare needs of communities around the globe. BD has a long history of helping communities with programs ranging from disaster relief to scholarship programs and customer education.

Today, BD is scaling up our response to communities in the developing world, particularly in the fight against disease pandemics. The Company is focusing its efforts in four key areas:

• Increasing access to critically needed technologies
• Improving clinical and laboratory services
• Investing in new technologies
• Supporting volunteerism and philanthropy

In each of these areas, BD is collaborating across the private and public sectors to create effective and sustainable programs that help build the healthcare capacity needed to improve global health, and in particular, to prevent, diagnose and treat HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria.
