Annual Report 2022

It started with a belief

In 2023, Octapharma celebrates 40 years of remarkable innovation and growth which has helped transform the lives of countless patients. What started in 1983 as two men with a shared vision to provide haemophilia patients with a safe and efficacious factor VIII (FVIII), has grown into a global company with more than 11,000 employees helping tens of thousands of patients every year live fuller, healthier lives.

In the 2022 Annual Report, we look back on the early origins of our company and explore the role Octapharma played in the development and introduction of the solvent/detergent (S/D) method for the inactivation of enveloped viruses. This technology played a crucial role in the war against viruses such as hepatitis and HIV, and it remains the gold standard for our industry today.

Inside the report, we speak to some of the patients whose lives are being impacted by our products. Suzanne and Eva share their inspiring stories of living with and overcoming debilitating conditions, while Dr Victor Viersen provides his insights based on case studies into how lyophilised plasma can help stabilise and save the lives of trauma patients in a pre-hospital emergency setting.

It started with a belief

Octapharma was founded 40 years ago to provide haemophilia patients with a safer, higher-quality factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate. In the four decades since, Octapharma has grown into a global company, driven by that same belief and vision.

Living with the mystery of dermatomyositis

“I re-learned everything from scratch – to walk, to talk, to articulate,” says Eva. For Eva, the journey to her dermatomyositis diagnosis began in 2014. Initially, she was not so much misdiagnosed as not diagnosed at all.

To transfuse or not to transfuse

Healthcare professionals have a wide range of treatment options when a patient suffers significant blood loss in a hospital setting, but the situation becomes a lot more complicated in the outside world.

Building a dream family despite VWD

“I remember thinking how wonderful it was to feel that good. I joked that I felt better at eight months pregnant than I did for decades because of the prophylactic factor infusing care," says Suzanne.
