The National highlighted Axios International’s comprehensive approach to improving healthcare access in Mexico, combining cost-sharing, individualized patient support and digital tools to address multiple barriers to treatment.
- Affordability is an important access barrier, but patients may also need education, counseling and ongoing support to successfully initiate and remain on treatment.
- Combining financial and non-financial support recognizes that different barriers can intersect and influence whether a patient ultimately benefits from treatment.
- A more complete definition of access considers the entire journey from diagnosis to treatment initiation and ongoing care, recognizing that removing one barrier does not necessarily remove them all.
