OUR CONTRIBUTION<\/span><\/h6>
Taking
responsibility
together<\/span><\/h5>[vc_column_text]In the debate surrounding contrast agents, sustainability is often reduced to individual product characteristics. In MRI, the focus is particularly on using less gadolinium. While this approach is understandable, it doesn’t go far enough. The decision on which contrast agent to use extends far beyond the product itself. It also affects security of supply, supply chains, regional value creation, and the long-term stability of healthcare systems.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]It is important to consider the system as a whole. Choosing a contrast agent is, at the same time, a decision about the kind of healthcare system we wish to strengthen in the long term. Development and production in Austria not only result in high-quality medicines but also create long-term added value for the country: jobs, regulatory expertise and pharmaceutical know-how remain in Austria, whilst short transport routes simultaneously contribute to a lower environmental impact.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_bottom_multiplier=”4x”][vc_column width=”1\/6″ tablet_width=”1-12″ tablet_sm_width=”hide” mobile_width=”hide”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ tablet_width=”11-12″ tablet_sm_width=”1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ content_width=”custom” animation=”fade-in-up” animation_delay=”100″ mobile_column_order=”1″ custom_content_width=”390″]
