In another major milestone toward establishing an efficient
global platform, Walgreens and Alliance Boots announced
in March that they had entered into a strategic, long-term
relationship with AmerisourceBergen, one of North America’s
largest pharmaceutical services companies. This relationship is
expected to help all three companies benefit from greater scale and
global opportunities as they work together on new and innovative
programs to improve service levels and efficiencies, while reducing
costs and increasing patient access to pharmaceuticals.
Together, Walgreens, Alliance Boots and AmerisourceBergen plan
to help address global healthcare challenges by making it easier for
manufacturers to bring products to market; increasing accessibility
to the benefits of global sourcing and best practices for community
pharmacies; and providing patients with better access to healthcare.
The collaboration is also designed to generate opportunities
to attract partners in new markets and prospects in existing
markets around the globe.
