Affordable Pharmacare the goal of study launched in federal budget
28 February 2018 - Advisory panel tasked with bringing relief to Canadians who pay some of the highest prices for prescription drugs in world.
A new advisory panel will be tasked with examining access to pharmacare as Canadians continue to pay some of the highest prices for prescription drugs in advanced countries.
Led by former Ontario Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins, the panel will weigh a potential national pharmacare plan while studying the patchwork of systems currently at work throughout provinces and territories. The panel will also examine international models in an attempt to foster better access to prescriptions across a wider population.
