Webinar Information:
The upcoming federal budget may contain announcements related to the way healthcare is funded in Canada, including changes to the regulation of pharmaceutical prices. Value for taxpayer money should always be the focus for government, but the need for cost-containment needs to be balanced with access to optimal healthcare innovation for patients. Key to this process is the patient voice. Join us for a webinar discussing potential health-related announcements in the federal budget, how they could impact your healthcare and what you can do to ensure the needs of patients are put first in this process.
