The proposed process is designed to be thorough, confidential and fair to every applicant.
Programs are not open yet
AAM is in its foundation phase and is not yet funding treatments or accepting full applications. These pages describe the framework we are building. You can leave your details to be informed when applications open. AAM does not provide medical advice — in an emergency, contact your local emergency services.
The six stages
What happens to an application
Every application passes through the same stages, whoever submits it.
Application
Submitted by a patient, a parent or legal guardian, an authorized representative, a medical professional, a hospital or a recognized partner organization. Appropriate patient consent or legal representation is required.
Initial screening
AAM verifies the completeness of the application, general eligibility and medical scope.
Independent medical review
Qualified medical professionals evaluate the patient’s condition, treatment options, alternatives, risks and expected benefits.
Financial & social assessment
A confidential assessment of the patient’s financial circumstances and barriers to accessing treatment.
Priority committee
When resources are insufficient, eligible applications are compared. Decisions follow published prioritization principles.
Decision & follow-up
Patients receive a documented decision, information about it and access to an appeal. Approved patients receive support throughout their medical pathway.

Questions
About applying
Can my doctor or hospital apply for me?
Yes. Applications may be submitted by medical professionals and hospitals, as well as by patients, guardians, authorized representatives and recognized partner organizations — with appropriate consent or legal representation.
Will my information be shared?
Patient files are confidential. Information is used for assessment, and stories or data are shared only with informed consent, or in aggregated and anonymized form for impact evaluation.
How long does it take?
Applicants are informed about possible timelines at the start. Timelines depend on the case and on available partners; AAM measures the average time between application and treatment.
Who gets the money?
Whenever possible, payments are made directly to verified medical institutions or service providers rather than as unrestricted transfers to applicants.
Can I apply today?
Not yet. AAM is in its foundation phase. Leave your details to be informed when applications open.
