Commitment to Public Health

Bayer has been a participant in the fight against vector-borne disease for more than 50 years. We offer a unique portfolio of product solutions, covering most of the currently important intervention techniques, in the fight against diseases such as malaria, dengue, leishmaniasis, sleeping sickness and Chagas (diseases which affect more than half of the world’s population).

We are one of the few companies with a global outreach to retain a focus on Vector control as part of its core business. Our commitment is well illustrated by:

• Our dedicated resources in the fields of product development, regulatory affairs, marketing and global partnering and commercial operations,
• Our regulatory support for chemistry which is unique to public health and no longer used in agriculture (e.g. bendiocarb),
• Our contribution to specific community awareness programs (e.g. bednet retreatment educational tools and indoor residual spraying training programs),
• Our partnerships with organisations such as the Innovative Vector Control Consortium,
• Our representation and contribution to Industry working groups.
