[On patient information] —"We get information about the product we use only if we ask. Doctors are more helpful."
— Regional psoriasis patient group, New Zealand
[On the healthcare sectors’ corporate reputation] —“Biologics are not affordable by 99.5% of patients, and are not covered by insurance in India. Phototherapy is not easily accessible to rural patients (only a small number of urban patients can access it).” —Psoriasis People’s Forum, Hyderabad, India
[On patient centricity]
—“Ascoltare con attenzione le nostre richieste e cercare di collaborare quanto piu’ possibile per raggiungere la famosa 'qualita’ della vita' tanto decantata e poco messa in pratica. Con alcune aziende ci si riesce, con altre meno.” [“Listen carefully to our inquiries, and try to collaborate as much as possible, to reach the famous ‘quality of life’ so often mentioned, yet so rarely put into practice. With some companies, you succeed. With others, less so.”] —Associazione per la Difesa degli Psoriasici (A.DI.PSO.),
