$31,000 per dose is what 18-year-old Dominic’s Haemophilia A preventive medication costs every month. Despite some subsidies, his family is still laden with a significant financial load. Similarly, 15-year-old Jue Ming’s Haemophilia B’s medication regimen costs around $7,500 every 10 days. Even with some government financial assistance, the family's lifestyle is impacted, cutting back on the extras to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, 13-year-old Constance grapples with managing her Type 1 Diabetes, especially in maintaining a stable blood glucose level during her longer school hours. Will a new device that promises to monitor and manage her glucose levels easily be the key to help her better manage her condition?
