To deepen the value of inclusion and empathy in corporate culture, PatientsForce has launched a deep collaboration with the Rare Disease Foundation (TFRD), jointly promoting the life education program “Rare Disease Professionals Enter Companies and Civil Organizations.” Recently, this project successfully brought this warmth and inspiration to Takeda Taiwan, inviting rare disease artisan Yaqi to give in-depth talks and share essential oil crafts with corporate colleagues. We hope that by substantively connecting industry and social disadvantaged groups, companies can see the challenges, fearless resilience, and love of life behind families with rare diseases.

The Patient Support Program (PSP) market has grown rapidly in Taiwan over the past few years. But if we look back from 2026, we see that the very nature of PSPs has fundamentally changed. It is no longer just a “patient care service”, nor is it just a medication reminder, health education tracking, or customer service mechanism, but a key watershed moment in the era of value-based care.
