The Corporate Reputation of Pharma Companies, 2016: from the Perspective of 98 Latin-American Patient Groups (2nd edition)
- Published Monday, 21st August 2017
- Part of a series of reports offered by PatientView
- Format is PowerPoint/PDF (121 pages)
- These results are derived from a global review of pharma’s corporate reputation (conducted November 2016 to early-February 2017).
- This report is based on the opinions of 98 Latin-American patient groups, from Argentina (10), Bolivia (2), Brazil (21), Chile (8), Colombia (8), Costa Rica (6), Cuba (1), the Dominican Republic (1), Ecudaor (2), Guatemala (2), Mexico (27), Panama (1), Peru (2), Uruguay (1), Venezuela (4).
- 20 specialised in cancer; 9 in neurological conditions; 7 in haemophilia; and other specialties.
- 15 pharma companies are included in this 2016 Latin-America analysis: • AbbVie • AstraZeneca • Bayer • Boehringer Ingelheim • Bristol-Myers Squibb •
Eli Lilly (Lilly) • GSK • Janssen (Pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson) • Merck & Co • Novartis • Pfizer • Roche • Sandoz • Sanofi and • Teva. The 15 companies were chosen because a minimum of 17 Latin-American patient groups declared familiarity with each one.
[On patient-group relations …] (“First, stop calling people ‘patients’, as that term in itself indicates a relationship of subordination, and definition of a person by their health condition, and not as a rights holder. It is a term that should change globally.”)
Industry-wide questions: - How the pharma industry’s corporate reputation compares with that of other healthcare industries.
- How the pharma
industry’s corporate reputation has changed over the past five years.
- How good or bad the pharma industry is at various activities of relevance to patients and patient groups.
7 indicators show the corporate reputation of individual pharma companies: - Patient centricity.
- Information for patients.
- Patient safety.
- Usefulness of products.
- Transparency.
- Integrity.
- Patient-group relationships
(new for 2016).
- In 2016, 52.1% of Latin-American patient groups thought that the pharma industry had an “Excellent” or “Good” corporate reputation (37.9% of patient groups worldwide thought the same).
- Latin-American patient groups in 2016 were, on the whole, positive about many of the pharma industry's activities. Some 70% described pharma as “Excellent” or “Good” at
being innovative; 69% stated the same about pharma’s ability to produce high-quality products; and 57% thought pharma “Excellent” or “Good” at ensuring patient safety.
- However, only 23% of Latin-American patient groups in 2016 stated that pharma was “Excellent” or “Good” at
providing access to clinical trials; and only 18% believed the industry fair in its pricing policies (although the latter figure was still higher than that reported in 2016 by patient groups from most other countries/regions—with the exception of those from Greece and Canada).

HIGHS and LOWS—LATIN AMERICA
Pharma companies’ PCRIs among Latin-American patient groups familiar with each company, 2016 v. 2015: ordered according to the difference between the PCRI values for the two years (high to low)
The Patient Corporate Reputation Index (PCRI) standardises PatientView’s ranking data, to take into account the different numbers of companies included in country/therapy analyses. The ranking is from 0 to 1, with 1 as the best (the highest) rank.
If the Latin-American corporate-reputation results for 2016 (15 pharma companies analysed) are compared with those of 2015 (13 pharma companies analysed) using a standardised index—the Patient Corporate Reputation Index (PCRI)—findings show that the biggest jump up the Latin-American rankings 2015-2016, was for:
- AbbVie—which signifcantly outperformed in 2016 its respective rankings among Latin-American patient groups in 2015.
