Kiriana was diagnosed with severe inflammatory bowel disease when she was 23 years old; an incurable, chronic relapsing-remitting condition affecting the digestive tract. Symptoms of IBD include chronic diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, fever, fatigue, incontinence, urgency, gastrointestinal bleeding, malnutrition, abdominal cramps, pain, and other symptoms. The disease course is progressive and unpredictable, with sudden exacerbations of gastrointestinal symptoms. These recurrent but unpredictable episodes of inflammation and IBD symptoms had a psychosocial impact on Kiriana which was detrimental, and impacted her capacity to work, her relationships, and adversely affected her quality of life. “It was debilitating. It was all consuming. During a flare up I couldn’t drive, I couldn’t work. It affected every area of my life.” Being able to access the medication she needs through the PBS has changed Kiriana’s life. A Stronger PBS will mean Australians do not miss out on accessing the best medicines when they need them. Show your support for a Stronger PBS >> StrongerPBS.com.au #StrongerPBS

The average delay of 466 days from the time a new medicine is approved for use in Australia, to when it is made available on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is hurting Australians. A Stronger PBS will give patients access to the best medicine available, when they need it. Find out more >> StrongerPBS.com.au

“We were fortunate. But there are families who have had a child with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and a different genetic makeup, and they could only access the treatment if the child began to show symptoms. So they wait on the edge of their seat wondering, is that a symptom? Do they qualify now?” Carolyn and her husband lost their first child to SMA in 2014. When their third child was born with SMA, he was given treatment at 5 days old that saved his life. But not all children with SMA can access the treatment through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. A Stronger PBS will give all Australians access to the best medicine available, when they need it. Find out more >> StrongerPBS.com.au

Research shows the medicines added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme between 1994-2011 reduced length of hospital stay by an estimated 2.48 million days in 2019. The value to tax payers is estimated at AU$5.97 billion. A Stronger PBS will give Australians access to the best medicines when they need it. Find out more >> https://lnkd.in/gCwTDzUb
