Fuel Relief Fund Partners with the United Nations on Addressing Fuel Delivery Needs After Natural Disasters

April 28, 2017

Fuel Relief Fund Traveled to Ghana to Provide Expertise at One of the World’s Six Humanitarian Response Depots.

RIVERSIDE, Calif., April 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — When a major disaster strikes, one of the most critical resources to rescue and recovery is fuel. But fuel supply and access are often cut off during such life-threatening emergencies. Fuel Relief Fund (FRF) fills the crucial gap in the first phase of a disaster – fueling first responders and providing power to hospitals and emergency services to save lives and alleviate human suffering.

Fuel Relief Fund (FRF) is the only Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that exists for the purposes of procuring and delivering fuel to vulnerable communities throughout the world.

Earlier this month, at the request of the United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP), the Founder and CEO of FRF, Ted Honcharik, traveled to Ghana. The African country is home to one of the United Nations’ six strategically placed Humanitarian Response Depots designed to procure, store, and transport emergency supplies.

It’s the second time Honcharik and FRF have been asked by the WFP to provide expertise on what it takes to transport, store, and secure fuel around the globe – having done similar work on a “lessons learned” mission on the Yemen civil war.

Ted Honcharik explained, “We gave technical assistance on fuel inventory control, security, management and fuel automation. They saw that our team and board have the experience and skills, so they reached out to FRF. In Ghana, we hope to make their jobs a bit easier by improving internal fuel supply and control.”

A stable and safe fuel supply is life-critical after a disaster, because it’s needed to power search and rescue to locate victims and transport them to life-saving care; transport food, medicine, and pump and deliver clean water; provide light wherever and whenever it is needed; and provide emergency power supply to relief camps and hospitals where critical operations can be performed.

Through coordination between the FRF and the United Nations, improved fuel arrangements during times of disaster around the world can result in a more efficient and effective humanitarian response that will save lives in communities hurt by a natural disaster.

April 28, 2017

NEW YORK, April 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

If You Purchased Solodyn and/or Its Generic Equivalent Partial Settlements of a Class Action Lawsuit May Affect Your Rights

Partial settlements have been reached in a class action lawsuit involving the antibiotic drug Solodyn. The lawsuit claims that Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., Impax Laboratories, Inc., Lupin Limited, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Sandoz Inc. (the “Defendants”) violated state competition (i.e. antitrust and consumer protection) and unjust enrichment laws by agreeing not to compete with each other and keeping lower-cost generic versions of Solodyn off the market. The Defendants deny this. No one is claiming that Solodyn is unsafe or ineffective.

WHAT DO THE SETTLEMENTS PROVIDE?

To settle the lawsuit, Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Lupin Limited (“Lupin Defendants”) and Sandoz Inc. (“Sandoz”) have each agreed: (a) that they would be willing to provide certain witnesses that Plaintiffs could call and a declaration that the Plaintiffs could use during the Solodyn case involving the overall End-Payor Class, other Plaintiffs, and the Non-Settling Defendants; and (b) to deposit $625,000 and $1.75 million, respectively, into Settlement Funds. If the Settlements are approved by the Court and become final, the Settlement Funds, inclusive of interest, will be used to: (1) pay for costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by Counsel in continuing the lawsuit against Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., and Impax Laboratories, Inc. (the “Non-Settling Defendants”); (2) cover taxable costs and taxes payable on the Settlement Funds; (3) pay for notice and other expenses; and (4) pay for service awards not to exceed $10,000 to the class representatives in recognition of their efforts to date on behalf of the Classes. Any remainder in the Settlement Funds, after the payment of the above expenses, shall be distributed to the End-Payor Class for the Lupin Settlement and the End-Payor Class for the Sandoz Settlement in a manner approved by the Court at the conclusion of the litigation. The Settlement Agreements, available at the website www.SolodynCase.com contain more details. These Settlements involve only the Lupin Defendants and Sandoz. The case will continue against the Non-Settling Defendants.

WHO IS INCLUDED IN THE CLASSES?

Generally, you are included in the Classes if you purchased, paid and/or provided reimbursement for some or all of a Solodyn and/or its generic equivalent prescription in the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico, in tablet form, from July 23, 2009, onward. Certain third-party payors are also members of the Classes.

You are NOT a member of the Classes if: you paid a “flat co-payment” for all of your prescription drug purchases regardless of whether they are brand or generic; you are one of the Defendants or an officer, director, manager, employee, subsidiary, or affiliate of any Defendant(s); you purchased only directly from Defendants or for resale purposes; you purchased or received Solodyn or its generic equivalent only through a Medicaid program; you are the judge in this lawsuit or a member of the judge’s immediate family; and/or you previously excluded yourself from the overall End-Payor Class.

YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

If you are a Class Member, you have the right to exclude yourself (to opt-out) from one or both of the Settlements no later than June 12, 2017. You may also comment on or object to one or both of the proposed Settlements. To do so, you must act by June 12, 2017. Details on how to request exclusion, comment, or object are at www.SolodynCase.com.

The Court will hold a hearing tentatively set for 3:00 p.m. on November 27, 2017, to consider whether the Settlements and all of their terms are fair, reasonable, and adequate. Please check the website for updates.

Nine Members of Congress Honored for Efforts to Preserve Access to Quality Medical Eye Care

April 27, 2017

WASHINGTON, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The American Academy of Ophthalmology is honoring nine members of Congress whose legislative efforts are helping to preserve patient access to quality medical eye care. The Academy is presenting its 2017 Visionary Awards to Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Calif., Rep. Peter Roskam, R-lll., and Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz.

The Academy presents its Visionary Award each year in conjunction with its annual legislative visit to Capitol Hill. This honor recognizes federal legislators for important efforts to advocate for enhancing and preserving access to quality eye care in the United States.

Sens. Collins and McCaskill have worked to ensure continued access to compounded and repackaged medications. These are treatments administered by ophthalmologists – physicians who specialize in medical and surgical eye care – to patients who suffer from wet age-related macular degeneration and other sight-threatening diseases. Sens. Collins and McCaskill are also prominent investigators of sudden drug price increases that compromise patient access.

Sen. Schumer and Reps. DeGette and Sinema were instrumental in a joint effort in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to compel the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to reconsider adopting a flawed Medicare Part B drug demonstration. If adopted, CMS’ proposal would have jeopardized Medicare patients’ access to critical eye care treatments.

Sen. Grassley and Reps. Roskam and Lewis used their Medicare oversight roles to ensure the sustainability of ophthalmology in rural communities. They pressured CMS into reconsidering a severe Medicare reimbursement rate cut for glaucoma and retinal detachment procedures. Their efforts preserved the continued availability of these sight-threatening treatments that disproportionately impact minority and rural communities across the country.

Rep. Matsui is leading efforts to improve the federal program that governs the use of electronic health records for Medicare patients. Her work ensures that physicians have fewer administrative barriers that distract from their interactions with their patients.

“The nation’s ophthalmologists are proud of our congressional lawmakers who are working to ensure that patients in every community have timely access to critical treatments for eye diseases,” said Cynthia A. Bradford, M.D., president of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “The Academy is committed to fostering these partnerships within Congress to ensure that our patients can receive the highest-quality medical and surgical eye care.”

The Academy is the leading voice for the profession of ophthalmology in Washington. The organization takes an active role in working with Congress and government agencies on policy issues that affect how medical and surgical care is provided in the United States.

About the American Academy of Ophthalmology
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is the world’s largest association of eye physicians and surgeons. A global community of 32,000 medical doctors, we protect sight and empower lives by setting the standards for ophthalmic education and advocating for our patients and the public.
