According to a study commissioned by CPhA, governments could  provide relief to the roughly 10% of Canadians who are not covered, or have inadequate coverage, through private or public drug plans by investing up to $2.15 billion a year in a pan-Canadian pharmacare solution

March is Pharmacist Awareness Month in Canada, a month long period to celebrate and educate Canadians about the contribution that pharmacists make in the delivery of health care.

CPhA  today called on governments to ensure that any legislative and regulatory framework for assisted dying in Canada balances the freedom of conscience for pharmacists and a patient's right to access.

CPhA welcomes the announcement today to restore the Interim Federal Health Program to provide full health care coverage to all refugees and asylum claimants.

CPhA CEO Perry Eisenschmid appeared before the House of Commons Finance Committee pre-budget consultations to present CPhA recommendations for the 2016 federal budget.

As the national voice of the profession, CPhA is committed to working with the government to ensure that  pharmacists’ perspectives and concerns are addressed in the development and implementation of assisted dying legislation.

CPhA welcomes the move by provincial and territorial health ministers to form a working group to improve access to prescription drugs — an important step in the collaborative efforts between Canadian governments to ensure all Canadians have access to the medications and pharmacy services they need.

As Ministers of Health from across the country prepare to gather for their pan-Canadian meeting, the Canadian Pharmacists Association has released the preliminary results of a study – one that delves deeper into the costs and other considerations associated with various pharmacare models, including universal pharmacare.
