With a distinct, non-promotional mandate, the SSHP builds trusted relationships with healthcare professionals, institutions, hospital leaders, and community stakeholders to identify care gaps and co-create solutions that improve access, timeliness, care pathways, patient flow, system capacity, and sustainability.
The SSHP collaborates compliantly across functions, including field and Head Office partners, while preserving its non-promotional mandate. As a strategic bridge between Pfizer and healthcare stakeholders, the SSHP translates system insights and evolving healthcare and pharmacy practices into quality-improvement initiatives aligned with Global Hospital & Biosimilars priorities.

  • Lead or support compliant Strategic Healthcare Enhancement Projects and quality-improvement initiatives with appropriate governance and defined responsibilities.
  • Generate and communicate healthcare-system insights to inform organizational understanding and strategic planning.
  • Support sharing and scaling relevant quality-improvement learnings across healthcare settings.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Compliance

  • Maintain the SSHP’s distinct, non-promotional, non-demand-generating mandate in all activities and engagements.
  • Represent Pfizer at relevant conferences, meetings, and events as a credible strategic partner.
  • Conduct all activities according to applicable Pfizer policies, procedures, non-promotional standards, and compliance requirements.
