Dr. Pfleger Prepares for the EAA: Accessible Patient Information Leaflets with axesWord

For Dr. Pfleger, accessibility is more than a legal obligation. It is part of the company’s responsibility. As a provider of around 60 medicinal products and medical devices, the company ensures that blind and visually impaired people also have access to safety-relevant information. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) makes this commitment legally binding from 2025 onward, and Dr. Pfleger is prepared.

Life-Saving? Absolutely. Especially when it comes to patient information leaflets, accessible content is critical. Only when information about dosage, risks, or side effects is accessible can blind or visually impaired individuals read independently and act safely. That is why Dr. Pfleger relies on axesWord to create accessible PDF documents directly from Microsoft Word. This ensures that everyone has access to safety-relevant and potentially life-saving information.

With this approach, Dr. Pfleger positions itself as a clear pioneer in accessible communication within the healthcare sector. Patient information leaflets have been consistently provided in an accessible format for some time and already meet the requirements of the EAA, even before it becomes fully applicable in June 2025. axesWord is firmly established across the company and is regularly used to ensure accessibility in a sustainable and efficient way.
