«I would highly recommend any institution to apply to the Axios-administered programs. The completion of the enrollment froms is a small price to pay for the benefit one would receive from belonging to these programs. Our patients have benefited tremendously by being able to access treatment and tests that they otherwise would not have been able to afford. All the Axios personnel that I have dealt with have been extremely helpful and highly efficient, and our unit would be much poorer without their support.»

«Viramune Donation Program is vitally important for developing countries, such as Georgia, where there is no other source for drugs in the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission. Axios staff is very responsive, kind and helpful. They always respond in a timely and competent manner.
Our organization, Georgian Maternal and Child Care Union, wishes to express its gratitude to Axios for help and for the most important work they lead.»

«As for our experience and recommendations for other groups, I would say that our experience has been a very positive one. I of course cannot say enough about our experience thus far with Axios and the donation programs. We would not have been able to afford to run a program of the scope of the one we have currently without this assistance. Diflucan will be an incredible addition to combating AIDS-related opportunistic infections in Kumba. We are hoping to further this relationship with the other donation programs.
I would say that the one hurdle that we encountered, as may be the case for others, is the data requested by the application. My recommendation (what we did in our application) would be to estimate as best as possible the data requested, and to delay the submission of the application for a month or two to allow for the collection of data so that annual rates and prevalences can be estimated and extrapolated. Otherwise I would think that many smaller and rural programs would be unable to generate the kind of data needed.»

«The Diflucan Donation Program managed by Axios is indispensable to treatment in countries with limited resources. This program makes it possible to treat patients with cryptococcal meningitis as per international recommendations, and to evaluate the treatment of asymptomatic cryptococcosis , in order to reduce the mortality of this very severe opportunistic infection, through the course of the HIV infection. Axios's presence throughout the application process enables the shipment of the order only a few weeks after acceptance.»
