Update to the pCPA Strategic Revitalization: Next steps in the pCPA’s transition to a standalone organization

The pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance is continuing the transition to a stand-alone organization including recruiting key leaders and ensuring all necessary operational supports are in place.

The pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA) is an alliance of the provincial, territorial and federal governments that collaborates on a range of public drug plan initiatives to increase and manage access to clinically effective and affordable drug treatments.
