Help CF Patients Access Medication in Canada
Donation protected
Canada needs life-saving cystic fibrosis medications. And we need your help to make it happen.
For more than five years the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Treatment Society has been relentlessly advocating with governments across Canada to get CF patients access to the life-saving medicines known as gene modulators. These medications include Kalydeco, Orkambi, Symdeco and Trikafta.
Cries for help have largely fallen on deaf ears in provincial capitals and our nation's capital. CF patients, whose lives can be transformed through these medicines, face declining health and ultimately death as they continue to be denied access to the medications. The result is every year more than 50 CF patients needlessly die in Canada because they can’t get access to life-saving medications.
We can’t wait any longer. If governments choose to ignore the moral, ethical and medical imperatives to act, we’ll fight to make access a legal requirement.
That’s why the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Treatment Society has launched a class action lawsuit against the British Columbia Provincial Government, the Federal Government, Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) and the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA) and also has been granted intervenor status in another lawsuit against the Government of Canada, challenging its jurisdiction to make the Regulatory Amendments to the legislation that governs the Patented Medicine Pricing Review Board (PMPRB) in Quebec.
It’s a basic human right for governments to provide access to life-sustaining medications and, with your help, we’re going to make them deliver on this commitment. Breathing is a right.
We urgently need funding to keep these legal actions going. With your support we’ll ensure CF patients across Canada achieve unrestricted access to these transformative medicines so they can lead full and productive lives.
Thank you for joining our fight.
