Financial Burden
http://www.aicf.org.za/burden_financial.html
The cost of innovative treatment is a financial burden for all role players. The reality in South Africa is that not everyone can afford a medical aid - and even for those who can, it is often not enough to cover the cost of the most effective treatments. Through patient access programmes, we are able to offer patients who have started treatment, some assistance should any of the following have arisen:. Their medical aid benefits are depleted; or. Where there is an affordability challenge.

Resources Burden
http://www.aicf.org.za/burden_resources.html
Healthcare resources are stretched to address the needs of patients in South Africa. Whether it be the hospitals in the state, or the ability of medical aids to cover treatment costs, resources aren't enough to meet the needs of patients and healthcare providers. The AICF, together with our partners, is systematically visiting cancer units and using our resources to upgrade and refurbish these essential cancer facilities. Visit the ICCF website.

Treatment Burden
http://www.aicf.org.za/burden_treatment.html
Research and development pharmaceutical companies invest massively to find innovative treatments for highly specilaised diseases The reality is that when a new molecule or drug goes to market, it does so with a high price tag. Medical schemes are often unwilling to re-imburse these drugs or treatment programmes, in part or in full, based on financial obligations to their members. Visit the ICCF website.
