The ‘Corporate Reputation of Pharma’ survey - the 2021 Asia edition is now in its 4th year, and two years into the Covid-19 pandemic). Between November 2021-February 2022, the survey collected the opinions of 300 Asian patient groups on the performance of the pharmaceutical industry during 2021 [see table below for the countries included in this Asia analysis].
Patient groups possess a unique understanding of the needs of patients, and represent their collated views. As such, patient-group perspectives have become increasingly important to regulators that demand patient input into trial design and conduct, as well as into the evaluation of clinical outcomes. Many patient groups, too, are familiar with the complexities of pharma’s business. From their vantage point, therefore, patient groups are both able to assess pharma, and recommend ways in which companies can improve - all from a patient perspective.
The 300 Asian patient groups responding to the 2021 ‘Corporate Reputation of Pharma’ survey had, collectively, been in communication with nearly 2.7 million Asian patients during 2021. 70% of the respondent Asian patient groups worked or partnered with at least one pharma company that year.
The report provides details on:
- How the analyst measures pharma’s corporate reputation from a patient perspective;
- The headline results of the 2021 Asia element of the ‘Corporate Reputation’ survey; including specific results for Australasia and Japan;
- The companies included in the 2021 Asia analysis; and
- The profiles of 2021’s respondent Asian patient groups.
