Is big pharma guiding federal drug policy?
March 15 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am
Dr. Aslam Anis
Director, Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes
Professor & Director Pro Tem, School of Population and Public Health, UBC
In February 2023, Dr. Matthew Herder resigned from the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB), citing the government’s failure to implement critical reforms to lower medicine costs. Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos has denied any interference, stressing that the PMPRB is politically independent.
Dr. Anis will explore this impasse, the role of the PMPRB in drug pricing, and the future of pharmaceutical regulation in Canada.
