At Santen, people- and patient-centric thinking is the starting point for everything we do.
Through our products and services, we endeavor to deliver novel and significant value to patients, to their families and loved ones, and to people who are not yet aware that they have an eye disease. We focus on not only providing effective treatments but making the lives and livelihoods of patients and their loved ones happier.
We encourage our employees to excel and maintain high standards so they can continue to provide new value to patients and society. Santen’s diverse workforce is committed to realizing “Happiness with Vision” with these values in mind.
