According to the same press release, the expansion is occurring under the supervision of the Department of Health — Abu Dhabi (DoH) and a “strategic collaboration” between the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and August Medical, which is part of the SOZA Group. The facility is set to open in November. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the 340B drug program “enables covered entities to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services.” Eligible organizations and covered entities “must register and be enrolled with the 340B program and comply with all 340B Program requirements.” Covered entities receive an identification number that vendors verify before allowing an organization to purchase discounted drugs, the HRSA’s website states.
