Public and Governmental Affairs

At bioMérieux, our Public and Government Affairs efforts are dedicated to expanding access to diagnostic solutions that help to save lives. We partner with policymakers, healthcare leaders, and patient advocates to promote policies that make diagnostics more accessible, affordable, and impactful.

Our Areas of Focus

We focus on three key areas to drive public health progress:

Accelerating Access to Diagnostics

We advocate for regulatory and market access reforms to ensure diagnostics are available, affordable, and integrated into care at every stage of the patient journey.

Leading the AMR Conversation

We position diagnostics as a cornerstone in the global response to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), working to shape policies and partnerships that drive sustainable solutions.

Removing Barriers to Adoption

We work to eliminate tax, trade, and regulatory barriers that delay or limit access to diagnostics across borders.

Our Approach

Our approach is collaborative, data-driven, and focused on real-world impact. We believe in transparency, integrity, and putting public health first.

We work across the healthcare ecosystem to shape evidence-based policies that elevate the role of diagnostics in improving patient outcomes. By collaborating with providers, policymakers, academic institutions, and patient groups, we ensure our strategies are inclusive and impactful. Our efforts are grounded in local realities, centered on patient needs, and focused on removing barriers to access—ultimately driving stronger healthcare systems and healthier communities.

Our Commitment to Patient Engagement

Patient engagement is at the heart of what we do. We actively engage with patient communities to understand their needs, co-create meaningful solutions, and promote health literacy. By fostering trust and transparency and embedding patient insights across our organization—from R&D to policy—we ensure diagnostics are developed and delivered with people at the center.

Our Positions and Policies

The Public and Government Affairs Charter describes our ethical principles and the procedures to which all our authorized Public and Government Affairs representatives must adhere. They also follow a training program to ensure they have the necessary skills to implement effective public affairs actions in their country.
