Through this Platform, we offer some assistance programs ("Assistance Programs" to people undergoing treatment with medications from Tuteur ("Patients" or "Users").

In order to achieve Assistance Program Objectives, we familiarize with the Patients and go through all the process with them to obtain the medication prescribed by health professionals. This allows for minimizing formalities and enhancing administrative management linked to access to medication.

Assistance Programs are free and Users can get access to them by telephone, e-mail or the Platform.

To access Assistance Programs, the Platform will ask Users to agree on Tuteur, on behalf of Assistance Programs, contacting them by telephone, e-mail or other means of the sort provided by the Users.
