Description

Alberta Health and Wellness announced the creation of a Health Action Plan for Alberta in April 2008. A key component of this plan is the development of a pharmaceutical strategy. The majority of working Albertans are not covered by government-sponsored programs, and spending on drugs is increasing at a rate three times higher than that of physician or hospital services. To support the development of an Alberta Pharmaceutical Strategy, two consultations were undertaken in 2008. The Strategy outlined in this document is a response to the findings and recommendations of these consultations, and its goal is to make drug coverage more accessible, affordable, efficient and therapeutically effective.
