Myeloma Canada Supports CORD's Action
|
|
CORD is Canada’s national network for organizations representing all those with rare disorders.
Their new campaign
“
Take Action
”
was created so that all patient groups will be united in saying “no” to new regulations that will set prices of new medicines so low that most companies will be unable to bring them to Canada.
To ensure Canadians get access to important new therapies, please consider supporting their campaign and help them tell the government to consider the approaches used by other countries that achieve lower prices without harming patients.
