Serving patients around the world is at the heart of what we do at Amgen—and this goes beyond making vital medicines. Each year, Amgen and our staff members dedicate significant resources towards building a better tomorrow and improving health systems so they can serve patients more effectively.
In Malaysia, Amgen is also a corporate partner in the Bone Health Alliance Malaysia (BHAM) that was launched in 2021. BHAM consists of 3 key NGOs – The Osteoporosis Awareness Society of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor (OASKLS), Fragility Fracture Network Malaysia (FFNM), and Malaysian Osteoporosis Society (MOS).

Amgen is constantly partnering and supporting various healthcare establishments to provide medical education to healthcare professionals and the public to increase health awareness and education.
