Pharmacare in Canada . : CP32-79/43-2002E-PDF
Many of us have had our lives, or those of people we love, radically changed by prescription drugs. Here, a grandparent has been kept alive by a heart medication; there, a child has lived into his teens because of breakthroughs in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Vaccination and antibiotics have prevented untold deaths. Pain is eased, more normal lives made possible, chronic conditions dealt with. There is hope that someday new drug therapies may be as effective in treating diseases such as cancer and AIDS. No surprise, then, that in a poll released in late 2001, 86 percent of Canadians said they believe prescription drugs play an important role in improving the quality of healthcare.
