NAMED PATIENT MEDICINES
Enabling Healthcare Professionals to source the medicines patients need.
Healthcare professionals can be faced with the challenge of trying to treat patients who need a drug that is not locally available to them. The drug may not be launched in their territory, be discontinued, or is simply in short supply. In these instances, physicians and pharmacists need to source and dispense patient specific, difficult-to-obtain treatment (often referred to as named patient medicines), often on an urgent basis.
CHINACHEM has the expertise and infrastructure to source these named patient medicines from all over the globe, and get them quickly and safely to the patients that need them. Access to international commercial databases and in house bespoke IT systems, strong links to one of the industry’s leading pharmaceutical supply chains, and a multilingual customer services team all combined makes CHINACHEM ideally placed to support healthcare professionals worldwide.
The international reputation that CHINACHEM has built for Named Patient Medicine supply solicits frequent approaches from pharmaceutical companies looking for an established company to co-ordinate patient supply for their products. CHINACHEM deals with each partnership on a unique basis, either implementing a Controlled Access Programme or managing cross border logistics to individual patients.
INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS
As a patient you may find yourself in the frightening position that you have a serious condition or illness and the treatment you need is not available in your home country. It is possible that the medicines are available outside your country and if your physician decides that these drugs would be suitable for the treatment of your illness, they then face the challenge of obtaining them for you.
CHINACHEM helps physicians across the world access medicines which are not approved or licensed in their country, but may be required to meet the special needs of an individual patient. The service we provide not only locates and supplies the required medicines but ensures that the physician has all the quality assurance and supporting clinical information they will need to safely prescribe it to you.
If you are confronted with a situation where a drug is not available to you, talk to your physician or healthcare professional about CHINACHEM and ask them to contact us. We will then work directly with your physician to help them understand what options are available.
