Our History

Axios was formed in 1997 by an entrepreneurial group of health experts who believed that patients deserved better. They shared a unique vision of an organization that would bring the distinct needs of the private and public sectors together to transform conventional access to healthcare models. And that’s exactly what we did.

At the peak of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, Axios founders designed and launched an unprecedented antiretroviral (ARV) access program at a time when access to quality medications in developing countries was unheard-of. Soon after, we launched the world’s first access programs for cancer medications.

Our early programs gave millions of patients access to critical, life-saving medications and opened the world’s eyes to the feasibility of alternative, more effective access models. 25 years later, Axios continues to break new ground in the design and implementation of access to healthcare solutions across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East and Europe.

The Future of Access

There remains much uncharted territory to navigate and new opportunities to explore to improve patient access. As we look ahead to the next 25 years, we felt it was important to ensure that our brand reflected our learnings from the past two decades and served as a guide for the road ahead. That is why today Axios unveils a new logo. The globe in our new logo represents what we feel is needed to continue to improve access to healthcare for patients all around the world: Access is not a one-off solution. Sustainable access is multi-dimensional and built by addressing the needs of all involved stakeholders. The globe in our new logo represents the building blocks of sustainable access solutions.

Sustainable access solutions must:

• Blue: Support financial sustainability
• Orange: Drive patient outcomes
• Green: Enable health system and policy improvements

We look forward to continuing to collaborate with our clients and partners to put quality care and treatment within reach so that all people can achieve better health.

Axios International and Dar Al Ber Society announce the successful opening of Abwab Al Khair Pharmacy on Sunday, June 26 – the first of its kind in the UAE that primarily focuses on improving patient access to medication for chronic diseases and an ecosystem to new resources of fund for charity. The pharmacy will serve as the approved pharmacy for Patient Access Programs (PAP) dispensers and will be available for all charities who wish to support patients. 

The establishment will be supported by our partners in the government, the private sector and various charities to address the needs of our patients and the community. 

Proceeds from the pharmacy will be donated to the Dar Al Ber fund permanently, dedicated towards Dar Al Ber charitable work – a unique establishment integrating a new concept. Donations will be given to a pharmacy focusing on the theme of the community.  

Thank you to our partners, for their multi-sectoral collaboration in bridging healthcare access to patients.

Each Patient Is Unique. Join Us In Taking Action To Optimize The Patient Journey.

The ‘one size fits all’ approach to patient access is one of the past. Each patient is different, and that means each one has their own unique challenges. By understanding the patient journey – from the moment where they experience symptoms all the way until they stop treatment – and the different factors that could affect their decisions along the way, we can ensure that they both access and stay on treatment. The need for more innovative patient-centric access approaches is greater than ever, especially as the pandemic continues to affect patients’ lives and the healthcare system. We can only move forward together and that’s why it’s so important for different stakeholders to come together to learn and educate others.

That is exactly what will be happening at this year’s Dubai International Pharmaceuticals and Technologies Conference and Exhibition (DUPHAT), one of the biggest annual pharmaceutical events in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Axios International has partnered with the organizers of DUPHAT to hold a two-day multi-stakeholder symposium where top experts and key decision makers will share their insights and experiences on understanding and optimizing the patient journey to ensure optimum health outcomes. The symposium will include more than 25 speakers from various healthcare-related backgrounds.

The sessions will provide hands-on, practical insights for all stakeholders working in healthcare-related fields. You can expect to:

• Learn about the patient journey needs and challenges from different perspective
• Understand the value and impact of understanding the patient journey
• Know how to identify patient needs and challenges
• Discover the available personalized services that increase access and adherence to treatment
• Find out the roles of different stakeholders in the patient journey
