Statement on Myanmar Relief
Baxter expresses concern for the people of Myanmar and sympathy to those suffering. In Baxter's tradition of unwavering support for geographies and people in crisis, the company stands ready to provide product and financial support. The desire to provide assistance must be measured with the confidence that support will reach those in need.
Baxter has been monitoring the situation and engaged in dialogue with multiple non-governmental organizations and disaster-relief agencies. Baxter will decide on its course of action only after confirmation that disaster relief, supplies and financial support will make it to those who are in a position to provide direct aid to the Myanmar people.
Baxter's vision to be a socially responsible member of the community requires us to recognize and respond to crises worldwide. The company looks forward to providing assistance once the Myanmar government has demonstrated their openness and acceptance of international aid.
