Transparency Financial Reports for Health Care-Related Organizations
Grants & Donations - U.S.
Abbott has a long-standing commitment to supporting programs aimed at increasing the understanding of scientific, clinical and health care issues that improve patient care. We partner with a broad range of organizations to help address today's health care challenges. We want to do our part to ensure that patients, and the health care providers who treat them, receive the information and support they need.
In the interest of transparency, we began voluntarily disclosing grants and donations to U.S. medical organizations beginning with the third quarter of 2008. Abbott will continue to report these payments on a quarterly basis.
This report discloses charitable donations, patient support, educational grants, and fellowships and scholarships. Recipients include medical and other health care professional organizations, patient organizations, academic institutions, hospitals, medical education companies and other scientific associations.
In addition, support from the non-profit, philanthropic Abbott Fund is aggregated and reported in an annual Internal Revenue Service 990-PF filing. This information is available on the Web site www.foundationcenter.org. Abbott continues to evaluate other ways to enhance transparency.
The following attached reports include direct payments more than $200 from Abbott's U.S. and Puerto Rico businesses. The reports may be updated from time to time.

Support for European Patient Organizations
Relationships with European Patient Organizations
Abbott has a proud history of working with patient organizations in Europe and throughout the world.
Patient organizations provide valuable information and support to patients and to the people that care for them, such as family and friends. We believe that we can support these organizations in their efforts to help patients understand and manage their disease.
Abbott’s relationships with patient organizations are based on trust, respect and mutual benefit. We aim for transparency and high ethical standards in all of our relationships.
We learn about issues of concern to patients and together, look for ways to address them in the best possible way. By building sustainable relationships, we also work toward advancing dialogue around healthcare issues and together, can seek ways to ensure optimal delivery of healthcare.
Our support to patient organizations takes the forms of event support, organizational support, patient education and caregiver education.
