We just announced a $1.5 billion investment in support of the first-ever National Strategy for Rare Diseases!

• 1/12 Canadians, including many children, have a rare disease, and only a small percentage of these conditions have treatments—most are unaffordable and out of reach.
• Delivered over 3 years, the funding will help patients, have better access to screening, diagnostics, and affordable effective medicines.
• We need to ensure that kids, that all patients, have access to testing and treatment as soon as possible to improve outcomes and their quality of life!
• I want you to know that we will continue working with the provinces and territories to improve access to medicine, while advancing Pharmacare legislation and working to establish a Canadian Drug Agency.
