In today’s tough economy, more Canadians will need help with the high costs of their prescription medications as they lose jobs and associated health benefits. In a National Pharmaceuticals Strategy (NPS) launched in 2004, governments committed to make catastrophic drug coverage a priority. But Canadians still don’t have this coverage or other important reforms that were promised, says a report released today by the Health Council of Canada.
The NPS was a key element of a 2004 health accord which saw a major injection of new federal money into Canada’s healthcare system. In their report, The National Pharmaceuticals Strategy: A Prescription Unfilled, the Health Council of Canada examines the problems that the National Pharmaceuticals Strategy was intended to address and its progress almost five years later.
