Who Qualifies as a Patient

Eligibility is a clinical decision. You need a diagnosed condition approved by the Ministry of Health and conventional treatment that has not given you enough relief.

Huli Practice

Huli is a Latin American healthtech company whose software runs the records, scheduling and prescriptions of more than 12,000 medical practices. Under Law 8968 your file is sensitive data: handled only with your consent, never sold, and yours to view or delete on request. It is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and aligned with standards such as HIPAA.

Farmacia Azul

Law 10113 requires your prescription to be issued digitally by a licensed physician and filled at an approved pharmacy. Your specialist issues it from your Huli Practice record during the consultation and sends it electronically to Farmacia Azul, our accredited pharmacy partner in cannabis medicine. Nothing is printed, carried or renewed in person, and you choose counter collection or home delivery.
