2. Cost as a barrier to access healthcare

Guidance for When You Can't Afford a Medication
May 30, 2020

Even before the current COVID-19 crisis, affordability of and access to medications was a significant issue worldwide. The price of medicine remains a significant barrier to access. It leads millions to not take their medications as prescribed – or even at all – due to cost. This poses a considerable risk to their well-being, as these medications could save lives, prevent illness and suffering, and allow individuals a chance at living a better quality of life.  We all may know someone who has struggled to obtain a medication they need. It truly affects us all.

In this article and video, Dr. Rola Kaakeh highlights a few strategies that both patients and healthcare providers can take if/when a person cannot afford a medication they need.
