At G.S.K, we believe that prevention is the best medicine. Prevention is pioneering new medicines to reduce HIV transmission, applying decades of experience and asthma control to limit long-term lung damage or stopping chronic conditions from progressing to most serious complications

because preventing disease is the best possible outcome for all of us and is why GSK

unites science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together.
