MORELIA, Mich., December 2, 2022 – Six children have not received their medication in three months. They suffer from hemophilia, and they were testing a drug that had even changed their lives. Gathered in the Plaza del Carmen, their mothers ask that the health authorities in the state supply this medicine again.
Obviously desperate, the women spoke to the media to make their case. There they explained that their children had been taking the medicine called Emicizumab, which, depending on the dose, can generate expenses in a family of between 180,000 and up to one million pesos per month.
The women recounted that their children previously took another medication, which was even more expensive, granted, with its deficiencies, by the Michoacán Health Secretariat. They were like that until two years ago, when a doctor treating these children at the Children’s Hospital told them that the Roche laboratory was launching a new medication, Emicizumab, which could improve the quality of life of minors.
