One of our partners,
CannTrust, a licensed producer and distributor of medical
cannabis in Canada, has introduced a comprehensive patient assistance program
for medical cannabis compassionate use in Canada.
Known as the CannTrust Access
program, it’s available immediately to eligible Canadians whose health plans do
not reimburse medical cannabis.
Qualified patients will be eligible for up to 30 grams of medical
marijuana per month. Three levels of
financial assistance are available through the program depending on the
patient’s income status, which will be reassessed every six months. CannTrust anticipates that a number of
patients’ financial status will qualify them to receive their monthly order at
no cost.
CannTrust Chairman Norman Paul said in a news release: “As a company
founded on the principles of patient access, CannTrust took the bold step of
creating the innovative CannTrust Access
program with a goal of offering broad access to medical cannabis for patients
in need.”
As we know patient assistance programs are common among the
pharmaceutical industry as a financial support tool for cancer patients in need
to treat and manage their disease. It’s
good news to learn that CannTrust
believes having a limited income shouldn’t marginalize a person’s access
to medicines they need. In fact, CannTrust is committed to helping make its
medical cannabis available where and when it is needed most.
Details to register are
