AACI/SIRUM Webinar | Leveraging Surplus Medicine for Good
Thursday, October 3, 2:00 pm ET
Every year in the United States, $11 billion worth of perfectly good, unopened medicine goes to waste. $2 billion surplus comes directly from oncology, yet the majority of cancer patients struggle with their high prescription costs. We can make sure that every patient has access to the medicine they need by repurposing surplus medicine. Since 2013, SIRUM—a national drug donation expert—has partnered with over 350 donor organizations to redistribute more than $250 million worth of prescription medications.
Presenter: George Wang, PhD, SIRUM
