Media Advisory - Innovative Medicines Canada with its partners from Health City and BioAlberta invite you to Lunch!
Featuring an address from Pamela Fralick, President of Innovative Medicines Canada And a lively Life Sciences Panel Discussion
EDMONTON, Nov. 26, 2017 /CNW/ - What is the contribution of the innovative pharmaceutical industry to the Canadian economy and R&D investment? What are the potential impacts of federal policy changes aimed at lowering drug prices? Is there a middle ground where Canada is able to lower prices while still retaining its position as a top tier destination for clinical trials and the launch of new innovative medicines?
Pamela Fralick and the panelists will take a robust look at the results of a Fall 2017 analysis by EY about industry's contributions to Canada and how industry and government can work together to enhance affordable, equitable and timely access to new therapies.
Innovative Medicines Canada President Pamela Fralick will be available for media interviews after the event.
