Fund free prescriptions for organ transplant patient's lifelong medication

Petition Details

We want the Government to add organ transplant patients to the list of eligible conditions to receive free prescriptions. They require this medication lifelong, to stay alive, conditions like diabetes also require lifelong treatment but are eligible for free prescriptions.

Additional Information

Organ transplant recipients 16+ have to pay for immunosuppressant medication. Like other conditions, it requires life-long medication. Without immunosuppressant medication, the transplanted organ can be rejected, and may require further transplants - if they are available. Otherwise, it could be fatal.
