Named Patient Program



Named Patient Program (NPP)

A Named Patient Program (NPP), also known as a Managed Access Program, allows patients and their treating physicians to access medicines that are approved in at least one country but are not yet available in the patient's own country. Through this program, essential therapies can be imported for patients who require them urgently.

Pharmaceutical companies may not launch every medicine in all regions due to regulatory, commercial, or logistical reasons. In such situations, clinicians can request access to critical medicines—especially for rare diseases, orphan conditions, life-threatening illnesses, or chronic and severely debilitating disorders—via an NPP to treat a specific patient.
