Children’s Healthcare Canada and our members have called for a national, evidence-informed formulary of medications for children and funding for related pediatric drug research and development. In the most recent Speech from the Throne, the federal government reiterated its commitment to a national, universal pharmacare program to ensure that all Canadians can access the medications they need.

Children and youth have unique drug needs, which have long been neglected. Approximately half of Canadian children and youth require at least one prescription in any given year. Children and youth rely heavily on compounded and off-label prescription drugs, which impacts safety, efficacy, palatability, and cost. Reimbursement decision-making bodies do not appropriately value the unique benefits of pediatric drugs, including child-friendly formulations, improved quality of life for children and families, and cost-savings outside the healthcare system.
