At Amryt Pharma, we strive to change the lives of people with rare, debilitating conditions through the communication of scientific knowledge. With that mission in mind, we are pleased to fund appropriate independent medical education programmes in order for healthcare professionals to enhance their understanding of the diagnosis, management and treatment of certain rare diseases. We also support patient communities through educational grants and charitable donations to the patient organisations and charities who work with patients with rare conditions and their caregivers.
