Dr. Jason Field’s separates facts from fiction in a constructive www.healthydebate.ca article (https://healthydebate.ca/opinions/failed-drug-pricing-policy/). When other countries were working collaboratively with the life sciences sector as soon as #COVID hit, Health Canada was imposing drastic and uncertain price controls. Myths are separated from facts on key issues, including
- How much Canadians actually spend on pharmaceuticals
- The link between private sector R&D decisions and price regulations
- The unfortunate consequence of the #PMPRB changes already: fewer and delayed new medicines that Canadians need.
