Non-discrimination Policy

Last Updated: 26 February 2025 

Pharmable is committed to creating a world where people of all backgrounds feel welcomed and respected. This commitment is based on two fundamental principles that apply to both Patients and Providers at Pharmable: inclusion and respect. Our shared commitment to these principles enables every member of our community to feel welcome on the Pharmable platform, regardless of who they are, where they come from, their beliefs, or whom they love.

While we do not believe a company can dictate harmony among people, we do believe that the Pharmable community can promote empathy and understanding across all cultures. We are dedicated to doing everything in our power to help eliminate all forms of prejudice, discrimination, and intolerance from our platform. We aim to foster a culture within Pharmable — Providers, Patients, and those considering using our platform — that goes beyond mere compliance. Therefore, all of us at Pharmable, including employees, Patients, and Providers, agree to read and act in accordance with the following policy to strengthen our community and realize our mission of ensuring everyone has the right to belong and to feel welcome everywhere.

Inclusion – We welcome people of all backgrounds with authentic hospitality and an open mind. Joining Pharmable as a Patient or Provider means being part of a community of inclusion. Bias, prejudice, racism, and hatred have no place on our platform or within our community. While Providers are required to adhere to all applicable legislation that prohibits discrimination based on factors such as race, religion, national origin, and others described below, we are committed to doing more than just meeting the minimum requirements established by law.

Respect – We respect each other in our interactions and encounters. Pharmable acknowledges that local laws and cultural norms vary across the world and expects Providers and Patients to respect local laws and engage respectfully, even when perspectives may not reflect their beliefs or upbringing. Members of Pharmable bring an incredible diversity of experiences, beliefs, and customs to our community. By bringing together people from different backgrounds, Pharmable fosters greater understanding and appreciation for the shared traits of all humanity and denounces prejudice rooted in misconceptions, misinformation, or misunderstandings.
