Over the last month, Health Canada has opened up a consultation for organizations like Defeat Duchenne Canada, to provide recommendations on a discussion paper outlining ways to address access to high-cost rare disease drugs in Canada.
There were three different ways to respond:
- Questionnaire
- Participate in a public town hall
- Written submission
Defeat Duchenne Canada submitted input into the questionnaire, engaged in four town halls, and completed a written submission in collaboration with Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) and the Neuromuscular Disease Network for Canada (NMD4C).
