A video series
from the CGPA
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most regulated sectors in Canada, so it’s no surprise that things can get a little complicated. “A Dose of Reality” is a video series meant to give everyone a clearer picture of what’s really going on. How do we create a more sustainable healthcare system? How do we keep a steady flow of both innovative and affordable medicines? Over the coming weeks, we hope to answer many of your questions.
