We’re facing one of the biggest healthcare challenges of our time: Every day, people are diagnosed with life-changing conditions, but can’t afford the medicines they need. And that’s just accepted as the status quo.
lWE BELIEVE THERE’S A BETTER WAY.
So, we decided it was time for a change.
At EQRx, we’re trailblazing a revolution.
To make medicines more affordable for people who need them
To bring back trust between the pharma industry and patients
To make drug pricing transparent
