Dear Dr. Sachiano,

Good day!
My husband was 7 years post transplant, last year found out recurring hcv and the doctor
Prescribed him sovaldi and olysio but unfortunately these meds not yet available in our country (I'm
from Philippines and my husband Egypt). We are aware of the cost of these meds and we are willing
to spend just to avail it. Please could you refer us to any hospital that accept foriegner for this kind
Of medication.

Thanks and best regards,
Marso

thanks a lot for your response doctor, it really give me hope that we can avail the meds. We will wait please for
your feed back from your inquiry. Doctor I also want to ask if Mount Sinai Clinic can accept my husband during the medication. If it is possible could you help us to whom we will contact in the hospital

Your kind consideration, is highly appreciated.

Best Regards

I would actually try and contact the companies as they might be willing to provide compassionate use medication for this indication.  Janssen may also be starting a study here in the US using this combination of medications
