Imagine discovering that a life-saving treatment for your rare condition exists — but you can’t get it because it’s not available or affordable in your country. That’s the reality for countless families around the world.
In this global episode of Rare Connection, host Joanna Ball sits down with Aayush Goyal, founder of MedsPartner, a platform that helps patients legally access medications from other countries through the named patient import pathway.
We cover:
🔹 The rare disease drug access crisis across borders
🔹 How MedsPartner helps navigate regulatory challenges
🔹 The hidden legal system most doctors and patients don’t know about
🔹 Real stories of families who found hope when doors seemed closed
🔹 How advocates can spread the word about this life-saving option
