Sweeping changes are coming to how drugs are priced, procured and reimbursed in Canada but many of the details have yet to be solidified. While the industry grapples with these ongoing changes, a global pandemic has created a new focal point: identifying viable COVID-19 treatments and supporting scientific advancements towards vaccine. It’s a critical time for stakeholders to come together and learn about how regulatory bodies could potentially work together under a National Drug Agency and the implications of new pricing ceilings.
