This selection is based upon their impressive track-record for seamlessly launching branded pharmaceutical programs for specialty and rare disease pharma/biotech manufacturers and their exceptional personalized patient care services and resources to support Daraprim®. Through the partnership, patients will experience uninterrupted access to this medication, with distinctive, tailored support programs implemented by expert care coordinators and innovative technology platforms to support custom patient communications, including educational support and interventions at key points in therapy that result in optimal compliance.
Dea Belazi, president and CEO, AscellaHealth, says, “Tilde Sciences recognizes the value of our years of experience in understanding the unique needs of patients with rare and orphan diseases or complex chronic conditions, expertise that clearly differentiates our patient-centric, end-to-end solutions and offers a more ‘human touch’ for people facing chronic illness and uncertainty.

Outreach is conducted during key points in therapy and technology tools support phone, email, text and mobile apps to effectively streamline communication and increase response rates. Throughout all stages of the patient journey, spanning program enrollment, welcome/benefits verification, prior authorization and financial assistance, care coordination, fulfillment and patient compliance, the personalized care of trained and skilled patient care coordinators is a hallmark of this approach.
Akeel Mithani, CEO of Tilde adds, “access to medications in the US has become increasingly complex. This poses a particular challenge for patients suffering from rare and serious diseases. Time is of the essence in getting patients the medications they need to be well. At Tilde Sciences, our mission is to be on the forefront of identifying solutions that simplify access for critically ill patients. Our core belief is that people make the difference.
