Accessing your medicines can be confusing. It doesn’t have to be.
PhRMA member companies are committed to helping patients make more informed health care decisions by providing more transparency about medicine costs. This, along with the development of the Medicine Assistance Tool, provides patients with the information they need to make more educated health care decisions.

PhRMA’s Medicine Assistance Tool (MAT) is a search engine designed to help patients, caregivers and health care providers learn more about the resources available through the various biopharmaceutical industry programs. MAT is not its own patient assistance program, but rather a search engine for many of the patient assistance resources that the biopharmaceutical industry offers.

U.S. HEALTHCARE SPENDING.

Improving our healthcare system to deliver better quality care at lower cost is critically important to our nation’s long-term economic and fiscal well-being.

The rising cost of healthcare is one of the key drivers of our growing national debt, which crowds out important investments in our future economy, including priority areas like education, research, and development, and infrastructure.

Although the United States spends significantly more per person on healthcare than other industrialized nations, our health outcomes are no better — and often worse.

What is a coronavirus?
A new coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019. This new virus presents particular dangers: there is no known pre-immunity, no vaccine, and no specific treatment. The virus is contagious, and everyone is presumed to be susceptible. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are working in projects around the world to fight the spread of coronavirus, and to sustain other lifesaving medical aid for communities who are further threatened by this pandemic.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, most of which are harmless for humans. Four types are known to cause colds, and two other types can cause severe lung infections: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). The novel coronavirus is now known as SARS-CoV-2, because of its similarities to the virus that causes SARS.

This new coronavirus seems to target cells in the lungs, and possibly other cells in the respiratory system too. Cells infected by the virus will produce more virus particles, which can then spread to other people, for instance by coughing.

What is COVID-19?
On February 11, the World Health Organization named the disease caused by the new coronavirus: COVID-19. Both the virus and the disease were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan. The overwhelming majority of cases were initially concentrated in China, however the disease has now spread worldwide. On March 11, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. As of April 24, there were more than 2,729,274 cases of coronavirus in 213 countries, territories, or areas, and 191,614 people have lost their lives. There are now more cases in the United States (890,027) than in any other country.

How is coronavirus transmitted?
Our understanding of this new coronavirus and COVID-19 is still evolving. The virus can spread from person to person, including by people who appear to have no symptoms. This makes it much harder to get a good picture of the way it’s spreading.

The WHO notes that coronavirus can be transmitted through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when an infected person coughs or exhales. People can catch COVID-19 by touching objects or surfaces contaminated with the virus, and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. People can also be infected if they breathe in droplets from a person with coronavirus who coughs out or exhales droplets. The WHO recommends staying more than three feet away from a person who is sick.

The latest Ebola crisis is the worst ever documented in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—and the second-largest Ebola outbreak recorded anywhere. Efforts to stop the spread of the disease are challenged by the realities of fighting an epidemic in a conflict zone.

DRC’s Ministry of Health officially declared a new outbreak of Ebola virus disease in North Kivu on August 1, 2018. It is the country's tenth outbreak of the deadly virus in 40 years.

On July 17, 2019, the World Health Organization declared the Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo to be a public health emergency of international concern.

On March 3, 2020, Semida Masika was discharged from a Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Ebola treatment center in Beni, in North Kivu province. She was the last patient with a confirmed case of Ebola. If there are no new cases, the epidemic could be declared over by mid-April. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends waiting two full incubation periods—42 days—after the last person tests negative a second time before declaring the end of the outbreak. On April 10, just three days before the outbreak would have been declared over, a new case of Ebola was recorded in Beni. The outbreak is not over, and continued vigilance is essential.
