Quintiles delivered transformational growth to become the world’s largest provider of life sciences product development and integrated healthcare services. It helps biopharmaceutical customers, as well as other healthcare customers, navigate the increasingly complex healthcare environment to improve efficiency and deliver better healthcare outcomes.
Overview

The business also expanded its Real-World & Late Phase offering through acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

In November 2017, post 3i’s exit, Quintiles adopted the name of IQVIA
