Advocates demand universal access to abortion pill at health ministers meeting

Representatives from Action Canada, the Canadian Nurses Association, the Canadian Health Coalition, the Canadian Pharmacists Association and the Kensington Clinic are together during the 2017 Health Ministers’ Summit to jointly demand the governments of Canada and every province and territory cover the cost of medical abortions.

CPhA has also compiled an environmental scan of Canadian’s access to Mifegymiso through pharmacy. The scan indicates that despite Mifegymiso’s availability in Canada since January 2017, women continue to face unnecessary barriers to access, including restrictive dispensing practices and lack of coverage.
