Roche Rx for change: Prescribing impact beyond medicines

In an industry often measured by clinical outcomes and commercial milestones, Natalie Touzell, Healthcare Community Lead at Roche Products, shares how her personal passion for health equity and social impact shapes not only the work she leads but also how she brings colleagues along on the journey.

In this Health Industry Hub podcast, Touzell reflects on Roche’s new Sustainability Statement report that demonstrates what is possible when purpose meets action. She explores tangible initiatives that have made a real difference for some of Australia’s most vulnerable communities.

The conversation also takes a candid turn, examining the barriers that stand in the way of progress. Touzell does not dismiss the complexity, whether it is internal challenges of aligning priorities or the external realities of systemic inequities and fragmented measurement. The discussion probes the uncomfortable reality that without consistent ways to assess outcomes, corporate social impact risks being reduced to little more than good intentions.

Touzell’s insights are grounded in practice yet forward-looking, pointing to emerging trends that could reshape how the sector approaches health equity and social impact over the next five years.
