About Us

The importance of good health is a universally recognized value. Health is essential, delicate, and fundamental for progress; it is a collectively shared need. When we say we are advancing the world of health™, we are honoring more than 125 years of service to healthcare, making the future brighter every day.  

We produce high-quality instruments that are essential for healthcare, as well as sophisticated tools that promote science to provide the best possible care, all with the unique goal of improving the quality of life in our communities. When it comes to the well-being of the world, we always give our utmost know-how and capabilities. 

With the BD Integrated Diagnostic Solutions (IDS) division, for which the BD^® Academy was created, we provide End-To-End diagnostic solutions for healthcare professionals, from integrated sample management to diagnostic solutions, from the pre-analytical to the post-analytical phase. Our solutions are designed for the safe collection and transport of diagnostic samples, as well as tools that accurately detect a wide range of infectious diseases, healthcare-associated infections, and the risk of developing cancer, as well as automation and lab efficiency. Our experts collaborate globally to tackle significant health challenges, including infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and sepsis.  

 We serve a wide variety of clients in 190 countries around the world: clinics, hospitals, research laboratories, medical laboratories, and we are ready to engage and collaborate with the new territorial structures that are emerging in our country in conjunction with the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). It is precisely on this point that an important challenge for the future of healthcare in Italy is being played, and we are well aware that our clients need all of our collaboration to support them in overcoming the new challenges of #NextGenerationEU and addressing those currently existing in the Healthcare System, such as: 

And we are ready to do this not only with the range of products we offer but also through Professional Services, services designed to support healthcare professionals and enhance their work environments. 

Our Responsibility

As a leading company in diagnostics, we must always continue to innovate and adapt because healthcare challenges do the same. Viruses change, diseases become more virulent, and they cross borders. The prevalence of diseases drives our need for continuous discoveries and treatments: it continues to evolve, so we must too.

With our diversified portfolio, we have the privilege of addressing many pathological states and health conditions, both for prevention and treatment. For BD IDS, our expertise includes sepsis, cancer, STDs, and COVID-19, to name a few. In short, we are present wherever healthcare needs us. 

It is well-known that healthcare is a partnership job: collaborators with a common vision are needed to achieve the optimal impact, which is why BD must be an intelligent, reliable, and expert partner to serve with and for others. And we are providing enhanced care processes using smart devices, robotics, and artificial intelligence, enabling innovations for care and implementing advancements in diagnostics. After all, people count on us! 

With our global reach and outstanding portfolio, we accept this responsibility while constantly aspiring to keep pace with changes in the healthcare environment. 

Our Opportunity

Together, we have the potential to achieve these goals and deliver what is needed for those who need it. Each of us at BD and BD IDS can make a difference, both individually and as a team. Regardless of our position in the organization, when we are aligned around a purpose, we can apply our institutional knowledge to achieve more collectively than we could ever individually. When more than 70,000 of us are truly “One BD,” we can have a profound impact on healthcare.

This translates into opportunities to achieve more and to be professionally and personally satisfied while meeting the global need for health. 

Our Impact 

Health is an enabling factor: an educated society without health leaves potential untapped. A country at peace but plagued by disease is vulnerable to instability. A city with an industry but without a sufficiently healthy workforce to sustain it will not progress. A world where many children die before the age of five is a world that loses generations of possibilities.

Health is bigger than healthcare. We are committed to the well-being, hope, and greater good of people and societies around the world, advancing the world of health™. 

Because We Are Made for the Future of Health

In 2022, we find ourselves at a time of transformation. Health, access to care, and technology are converging and rapidly evolving together. To meet the world where and when it needs us, we embrace the power of transformation, as we have for over a century.

Because at BD, we never stop.

When the pandemic put the world on pause, we accelerated our pipeline to leverage our core strengths in diagnostic solutions. We stood firm on our foundation as a beacon of trust and unwavering optimism to lead the way forward. We refuse to let anything slow down our relentless commitment to improving patients’ lives.

When the world changes, so do we. 

As patients take more responsibility for their own health and global healthcare supply chains become increasingly complex, we will be there, ready to answer the call. Just as we are ready today to support hospital facilities in the challenges of Mission 6 of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

Health never stops. Whatever tomorrow brings, BD will be there. Because we are made for the future of health.
