‘Deep breaths, in and out’ is a familiar mantra that many use to get through tough moments during the day. But what happens when those deep breaths don’t come easily? 🌬️🌍 Allergic diseases like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema affect 34% of the global population. These conditions disproportionately impact vulnerable populations through exposure to higher levels of air pollution and poor housing conditions. Through our Research Initiative for Self-Care Equity (RISE), we’ve uncovered many layers behind allergic diseases. These insights allow us to address health inequalities, and design self-care solutions to enhance outcomes for those who need it most. Policy changes and advocacy can help create enabling frameworks, while access to relevant resources and tools can empower people to improve their living conditions. By uniting efforts, we can create a world where allergies don’t hold anyone back from enjoying life. 🤝💚 #HealthforAll #HungerForNone #HealthEquity

🌸Women's health matters! The 'No Pain, Period' campaign from Saridon Woman - the menstrual pain product from India, is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges women face during their menstrual cycles, a topic that is often overlooked.

Recently, over 5,000 men and women united to perform a powerful crossed-arms gesture, symbolizing solidarity and understanding for those who experience this pain. This incredible participation not only raised awareness but also earned a Guinness World Record! For #TeamBayer, Women's Health is a priority. By fostering open conversations and highlighting the importance of addressing menstrual pain, we empower women to seek the solutions and support they deserve. Our commitment to these health-related issues is rooted in a human-centred approach, grounded in a deep understanding of women's needs and backed by the best science. Let's say it loud and clear: No Pain, Period! sandeep verma Ritu Mittal Ananta Thusu Melissa Serrao

Women's intimate health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, yet many women face significant risks. Our Research Initiative for Self-Care Equity (RISE) indicates that women with lower education levels are at a higher risk of vaginal infections, which, if untreated, can lead to serious complications. We believe that early diagnosis and treatment of infections can transform health outcomes for generations. RISE aims to highlight the importance of addressing these disparities to improve health outcomes and promote equitable access to self-care solutions. Our women's health solutions from Canesten, Elevit, and Midol are designed to provide comprehensive care and to meet the unique needs of women everywhere and at every stage of life. 💖🌸 Curious to learn more?

In a powerful message from the World Bank, it's clear that our investments in nutrition are more than just numbers—they're a lifeline to a healthier, brighter future for communities around the globe. At Consumer Health, we're at the forefront of the #NutrientGapInitiative, committed to providing essential nutrients to 50 million people annually by 2030. The recent discussions at #N4GParis have only fueled our passion and resolve. The collective dedication to ending malnutrition, underscored by the transformative power of strategic partnerships and innovative approaches, has been truly inspiring. Here are some insights: - Every $1 invested in nutrition returns $23 according to the World Bank Nutrition Investment Framework. - With $27 billion pledged for nutrition, leaders from the African Development Bank Group, the European Union, and The World Bank are setting a new standard in public health commitment. - Recognizing nutrition as a cross-sectoral outcome, we're reminded of the importance of integrating food and health systems through policies that support nutrition interventions and sustainable agriculture. - The success of Public, Private, Philanthropies Partnerships (PPPP) in driving progress, particularly in areas like food fortification and prenatal supplementation, exemplifies the collaborative spirit needed to achieve lasting change. As we continue our journey with the Nutrient Gap Initiative, these insights not only guide our efforts but also reinforce the importance of our mission. Together, with every dollar invested in nutrition, we're not just feeding bodies; we're nourishing futures and building a healthier world for generations to come. #HealthForAll #HungerForNone

🌟 Our skin, the largest organ of our body, is truly remarkable. It protects us from the outside world while connecting us to the people and things we love. However, vulnerable skin can cause discomfort and worry. For over 75 years, our leading brand, Bepanthen, has been pioneering skin health. Its key ingredient, Dexpanthenol – also known as the "skin healing vitamin" – plays a vital role in many of the skin's metabolic processes. 💧 It helps retain moisture, ensuring the skin remains hydrated and capable of natural skin recovery and protection. Shoutout to our colleague, Jeff Donald, for diving deep into Bepanthen's journey and its scientific roots with insights from our expert Erwan Peltier. For generations, people have trusted Bepanthen. Experience the magic for yourself! ✨📹 #SkinHealth #GetToKnowOurProducts Stephen Parker Zainab Qaizar Pana Beke Renata Miklos Pınar Saltat Zoltan Bihari

Chronic pain is more than just discomfort. For many in underserved communities, it's a barrier to a better life, affecting work, sleep, and even family well-being. Our Research Initiative for Self-Care Equity (RISE) has shown how deep these issues run, especially where resources are scarce. The research indicates that the effects of pain extend beyond individuals; for example, children whose fathers hold low-income jobs are four times more likely to experience episodic headaches. We are using these insights to leverage science and innovation to expand access to everyday health for billions of people. Take Aspirin, for example - it's an accessible way to relieve headaches, and other body pains, no matter where you are in the world. Together, we can break the cycle of pain and empower individuals to take control of their health! 💙 Curious to learn more?

🤧 The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in China has become a significant health burden that affects approximately 20% of the population. Nearly half of the patients experience moderate to severe symptoms that current available remedies may not adequately alleviate. To address this issue, #TeamBayer introduced the Clarityne Mometasone Intranasal Spray in China for the first time following its successful launch in the LATAM region last year.✨🚀 Our journey began with a fresh approach. Instead of adhering to the traditional global core team structure, we formed an agile team composed of both global and local leaders. This reimagined collaboration facilitated smooth communication, dismantled barriers, and expedited our processes. As a result, our dedicated team was able to take the product from signing the deal to warehouse readiness in just eight months – significantly faster than the typical timeline of 1 to 1.5 years.✅ By leveraging Clarityne's scientific backing, comprehensive treatment portfolio, and up-to-date stepwise treatment strategy, we’re committed to reshaping the allergy relief landscape and making a meaningful difference in the lives of allergy sufferers. #HealthforAll #HungerForNone Claudia Wong, PMP Sophia Li Will Yan he richard Yao Xiong Ka Jia David ZHANG Liu Yanxia Xue Chen Lale Ürpek Darryl N.
