SERVIER CANADA
Servier Canada is a historical subsidiary of the Servier Group, which started its activities in Canada in 1978.
Servier is a privately-owned international pharmaceutical company governed by a non-profit organization. Our independence allows the freedom to pursue our vocation: our commitment to therapeutic progress to serve patient needs.
For more than 45 years, Servier Canada has consolidated its position as a leader in cardiovascular and metabolic medicine, which has paved the way to diversification into new frontiers, including oncology. In fact, under the leadership of our Servier Canada’s Executive Committee, we constantly strive to provide the Canadian medical community, its patients and their families with innovative therapeutic solutions. To do so we partner with various stakeholders in the life sciences ecosystem, including researchers, academic partners, clinicians, patient associations, and innovators.
Lucie Rousseau, appointed as General Manager for Servier Canada, would like to do more for a sustainable and inclusive world, while at the same time aiming to create a significant social impact for the medical community and for patients.
“Therapeutic progress remains our priority, and the patient the heart of our mission, motivating our actions at each stage of the life cycle of our innovations. And to support this mission, I am extremely fortunate to be able to count on committed, passionate and talented colleagues who apply themselves daily for the benefit of patients and in the desire for a more just world.”

The main therapeutic areas are cardiovascular diseases, and oncology.
