Welcome
The Alliance for Patient Access (AfPA) is a national network of physicians whose mission is to ensure and protect patient access to approved medical treatments and therapies including prescription pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medical devices.
Our Mission
AfPA is dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of care for patients. Through education on policy issues and advocacy in general, we seek to turn physicians into effective champions for their patients.
Our Goals
Our goal is to protect patient access to treatments by:
- Increasing physician awareness of global health policy issues
- Boosting the commitment, knowledge, and advocacy skills of AfPA members
- Educating policymakers concerning appropriate patient access to approved therapies
On our website, you will find the latest information on health policy issues that affect patient access to treatments, as well as tips and resources to help you become better advocates for your patients.
