AZ&Me(TM) Prescription Savings program for healthcare facilities helps

uninsured patients access medicine at little to no cost

The AZ&Me(TM) Prescription Savings program for healthcare facilities is planning to provide free AstraZeneca medicines to hundreds of thousands of patients at approximately 150 facilities by the end of 2008.

The new program builds on the current AstraZeneca patient assistance programs by extending prescription drug assistance directly to the sites where uninsured patients interact with healthcare providers, supporting patients at one central place where they can get the medicine and care they need.

"AstraZeneca knows it is not enough to make lifesaving medicines. We must also ensure people have access to our products," said David Nicoli, Vice President of Corporate Affairs. "This program supports facilities that connect patients to medical care such as disease management, preventive care and dental care.

Patients are eligible for AstraZeneca medicines through this program if they do not have prescription drug coverage and must have a household income at or below $30,000 for an individual, or $60,000 for a family of four.
