Surviving the unknown

Chief Financial Officer
In this year’s Annual Report, we speak to patients whose lives are being impacted by our products.
The stories of young Sebaga from Botswana, Arne from Germany, and Nicholas and Laurel from the USA are incredibly inspiring for everyone at Octapharma.
They remind us of the tremendous impact that we have on many thousands of patients all around the world and our ability to deliver treatments in all three of our therapeutic areas – haematology, immunotherapy and critical care.
A passion for living
“My goal is to get them outside and show them that haemophilia doesn’t limit them but that they can limit haemophilia,” says Nicholas, who doesn’t allow his disease to control his life.
Why worry?
“Stick to your medication plan and keep your antibody level high. There are definitely more ‘annoying’ diseases than these,” says Arne, who considers his life normal despite his condition.
Always on the go
“I will not let PI steal my life; I am not my diagnosis.” Although Laurel was diagnosed with CVID, she is an example of courage and determination. Today, she advocates for education about PIDDs.
Trust and decision making
You might think that seeing dozens of patients everyday would sap his mental energy. But in his 30-year career, each experience seems to have taught Professor Galstyan something new.
