The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) extends our thoughts and sympathy to the thousands of residents of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and Guam whose homes and lives have been impacted by Typhoon Sinlaku.
The HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has activated the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program for residents of the Northern Islands, Saipan, Rota, and Tinian in the CNMI. This program ensures that individuals who:
· have been impacted by disasters and
· do not have health insurance
can access necessary medications and medical supplies – at no cost.
To check eligibility, medication and medical equipment availability, and find participating pharmacies, call the EPAP hotline at 855-793-7470 or visit the EPAP website at https://aspr.hhs.gov/epap/Pages/default.aspx
