Companies Innovate to Expand Access to Medical Cannabis Treatment
Gravital Club facilitates access to cannabis-based medical treatments, as well as prescribed products
By Gravital Advisory
In recent years, we have witnessed a growing interest and acceptance regarding medical cannabis treatment. Whether for pain management, anxiety reduction, treatment of neurological diseases such as epilepsy, or relief from cancer symptoms, medical cannabis has proven to be an effective therapeutic option for many patients. However, despite the proven benefits, access to this type of treatment is still not widespread, mainly due to the costs involved.
Treatment with cannabis can be expensive for many patients, especially when it is not covered by health plans or medical insurance. The costs related to specialized medical consultations, acquisition of products, and treatment follow-up can be prohibitive for Brazilians, averaging around R$ 200 to R$ 250 per month, thus limiting access to this form of therapy.
However, several companies have been seeking innovative ways to facilitate patient access to cannabis treatment. One such initiative is from Gravital Clinic, a clinic specialized in cannabis-based treatment, which innovatively launched in 2023 the first subscription health service focused on cannabis therapy in Brazil. With over 600 members, Gravital Club aims to facilitate access to this type of medical follow-up, also offering incentives for overall health care.
The success was so significant that Gravital Clinic decided to enhance the Club and launched this year a new format that includes up to 4 dependents. The main benefit for subscribers is a discount on medical consultations with specialists in medical cannabis, as well as discounts on cannabis-based products from partner companies. By bringing together doctors, patients, and suppliers, the Club promotes a collaborative approach to cannabis treatment, ensuring that patients receive the support and guidance they need to achieve the best possible outcomes.
“We have witnessed in our clinical practice the transformative impact that medical cannabis has on people's lives. Unfortunately, we still face misinformation, often malicious. However, increasingly, cannabis is emerging as a natural and safe product,” highlights the founder of Gravital Clinic, Joaquim Castro. “In light of this scenario, Gravital Club has undergone significant changes to further expand access to this therapy. Our goal is simple: we want more people to benefit from this treatment and have access to the necessary information about the medicinal power of this plant. We are committed to ensuring that medical cannabis is recognized and used in the most effective and safe way possible, providing relief and well-being for those who need it most.”
