About Axios International

About Us

Our Access Journey

Axios has been advancing healthcare access for nearly three decades. Founded in 1997, we led the world’s first antiretroviral access program at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, demonstrating the potential of new approaches to expanding access to life-saving treatment.

Since then, Axios has implemented patient access solutions in more than 100 countries, reaching nearly 10 million people and helping demonstrate the feasibility of more sustainable access to healthcare models.

Axios explained

Our Approach

Sustainable access to healthcare is multi-dimensional and built by addressing the needs of all involved stakeholders.

Axios International designs and delivers sustainable, patient-centered access solutions that help people navigate and complete their treatment journey—creating common ground between the needs of patients and healthcare stakeholders to make access work in the real world.
