Addressing barriers for severe asthma patients
Our 360° Patient Support Programme addresses the main barriers and challenges facing severe asthma patients in the Gulf, and improves their patient journey by connecting them with their healthcare professionals and nurses through a digital platform.
More than 85% of the United Arab Emirates population have partial or limited access to innovative products due to lack of insurance coverage or high co-payment levels. The programme offers a variable cost sharing patient assistance programme, customised based on each patient’s ability to pay, which is assessed by a deep financial evaluation implemented by a third party to determine the treatment plan.
The treatment cost is shared by the patient and/or their insurance, non-governmental organisations and AstraZeneca, to ensure the sustainability of the programme.
