A world of thousands of health challenges

Diabetes patients live in constant battle. Every day, they need to use a glucose meter to take a blood sample from their fingers to measure their blood sugar, an uncomfortable and painful process.

They also need to remember to repeat this process up to 10 times, regardless of day or night, not to mention abstain from indulgence in food to ensure a stable blood sugar index.

Overindulgence can be fatal to any diabetic – especially those who are of a working age and often have social encounters.

There are also other familiar challenges in everyday life. For example, millions of elderly are suffering from muscle loss (due to ageing), who can no longer take care of themselves or their everyday needs.

They have difficulty in sometimes the simplest daily activities, such as getting up and down the stairs, and depend on their children to cook, wash or even carry a small pot of plants.

Muscle loss due to ageing also reduces the resistance of people over 50, they will fall easier, lose confidence, and the joy of living by themselves, being self-reliant in all their activities.

Even children, our most cherished and protected, are at the mercy of health challenges. Millions of children around the world face malnutrition because they have little access to adequate nutrition for a variety of reasons.

Obviously, health issues can plague anyone of any age. As a world-leading healthcare company with a history of nearly 130 years, Abbott and its scientists and employees know that every breakthrough, every successfully applied health-related technology will help millions of people around the world.

Innovation and technology can make a difference

Abbott has been known as one of the leading global healthcare companies with a history of nearly 130 years, not only in nutrition, but also in pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, neuro-modulation, diabetes care, and the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

At Abbott, scientists are heart-and-soul devoted to developing life-changing technologies that help millions of people around the world live their best lives through good health. Every day, every employee of Abbott create the miracle of healthcare throughout the world.

These achievements have also been introduced to the people of Vietnam, especially with the two breakthrough products, which are the result of many years of scientific research as well as clinical and pre-clinical trials: Similac HMO and Ensure HMB formulas.

These latest products show the great care with which Abbott treats people of all ages. For the healthy development of children, Similac with HMO is one of the most prominent achievements in pediatric nutrition in the past decade, helping narrow the gap in immunity between formula-fed babies and breast-fed babies.

For the elderly, Abbott’s new Ensure Gold with HMB is a nutrient that supports muscle health, a gift of health bringing joy every day, helping the elderly to stay active longer and reach their unfulfilled dreams.

Abbott believes that good health is not only about treating an illness or managing a medical condition. It is about supporting people’s health as if it were its own so they can enjoy all life has to offer.

At Abbott, scientists develop life-changing technologies that help people live their best lives through good health. From providing nutrients for moms and babies and freeing people with diabetes from routine finger sticks to building a cardiac device to save lives and hunting for new virus mutations, every day Abbott employees are doing work that matters.

Besides nutrition, the latest healthcare technologies of Abbott are used in a variety of fields. In diagnostics, Abbott products help to provide accurate and timely information for patients and clinicians to make the right decisions.

Technology is also applied to supportive products for the cardiovascular or nervous system as well as for the treatment of motor disorders and chronic pain by targeting specific areas of the brain.

On the other hand, Abbott also focuses on caring for people with diabetes, giving optimal solutions to better manage their health, particularly helping them to get rid of the trouble brought by complex and painful medical devices.

Moreover, Abbott’s pharmaceutical business provides high-quality and trusted medicine for customers to access the most up-to-date healthcare solutions in the world.

One of Abbott's remarkable achievements is m-PIMA™ HIV-1/2 VL – an advanced technology test that simplifies the health screening process for HIV patients, particularly in remote and underserved communities.

Libre FreeStyle sets the diabetics free from bleeding fingers by helping them to monitor their glucose levels in a hassle-free, discreet, convenient, and informative way.
