Canada’s pharmacists believe it’s time for a national discussion on pan-Canadian pharmacare that reflects the views and values of Canadians.

The four largest pan-Canadian health organizations call upon all federal party leaders to make a public commitment that health and health care be a priority item in upcoming federal election leaders’ debates.

Today CPhA launched its election platform calling on federal political parties and candidates to commit to addressing the key health care concerns of Canadians in the areas of access, safety and innovation.

The CPhA Awards celebrate pharmacists who are making a difference in the health and well-being of Canadians and the dedication those pharmacists have to their patients.

Canadians are not taking their medications as prescribed and, in some instances, not even filling their prescriptions, according to national survey results released by the Canadian Pharmacists Association.

According to a national survey, Canadians support a pan-Canadian pharmacare program that includes private drug plans and pharmacy services.

CPhA urges the federal government to enhance its national immunization strategy to ensure that all Canadians have the opportunity to protect themselves against the common strains of HPV through immunization.

CPhA congratulates François Schubert, who was appointed to the Order of Canada on July 1, 2015 for his contributions to the advancement of pharmaceutical care in hospital pharmacies, and for his leadership in the field.
