While Merck Frosst's main activities are the discovery, development, manufacturing and distribution of medicines, the company also recognizes the responsibility it bears as a member of the healthcare community. Clearly, the individual health of every Canadian is tied to the long-term soundness of the country's health care system. This insight has led Merck Frosst to establish a Patient Health Management group and a Health Policy Division. These structures are intended to allow the company to participate fully with other stakeholders in the healthcare system to ensure patient access to optimal therapies, while improving costs and health outcomes. Patent laws protect pharmaceutical products allowing pharmaceutical companies to invest more money into research and development of innovative drug therapies.
