REACHING MORE PEOPLE, SERVING MORE HEALTH NEEDS. PAGE 21
was recognized as one of the Top 10 Employers of 2005
by China Central TV, which reaches 84 percent of the
Chinese population.
Improving the scope and quality of health care for women,
children and families affected by the global HIV/AIDS
pandemic is a major focus of philanthropic activity for
Johnson & Johnson companies. According to the United
Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS, approximately
700,000 children around the world become infected
with HIV every year, mainly through mother-to-child
transmission during pregnancy and breast-feeding.
Johnson & Johnson partners with the Elizabeth Glaser
Pediatric AIDS Foundation’s Call to Action Project
to provide preventing mother-to-child transmission
programs, which bring critical health care services
to pregnant women, new mothers and newborns. The
partnership supports training of health care workers,
the delivery of HIV counseling, testing and critical
drug interventions at nearly 200 health care delivery
sites in China, Russia, India, Malawi, the Republic
of Georgia, Zimbabwe and the Dominican Republic.
In China, nearly 40,000 people each year die from leukemia,
according to the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC). Bone
marrow transplants provide an important treatment
option, but matching donors with patients remains a
challenge. Johnson & Johnson companies in China
have partnered with the RCSC to build awareness for
its Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donor Program. Through
a broad media campaign, the program has expanded its
databank of potential bone marrow donors from 6,000
in 2002 to more than 300,000 at present, significantly
enhancing the possibility of a successful match for four
million Chinese patients awaiting donations. More than
1,900 associates from Xian-Janssen Pharmaceutical
Ltd. and other Johnson & Johnson companies in China
have registered with the databank.
Since the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, Johnson & Johnson
companies have aided the victims of catastrophic events
around the world. Today, in partnership with nonprofit
organizations like MAP International, AmeriCares
and Direct Relief International, the Company responds
by providing medical supplies stocked in advanced
and stored in “ready now” disaster relief modules. In
the aftermath of the tsunami in Southeast Asia and
Hurricane Katrina in the U.S., the “ready now” program
enabled modules to reach affected areas quickly. At the
same time, employees of Johnson & Johnson companies
throughout the affected regions volunteered to provide
