Agenda
At our October 13th, 2022 webinar we will be examining the current funding model and risk arrangements for drugs for rare diseases. Plus we will explore potential funding and risk models that could be feasible for the creation of a sustainable solution that is equitable for Canadians. Our patient expert will discuss the patient experience and the rapid development of treatments for rare diseases that has resulted in the current crisis in funding and therefore access. Our medical expert will speak to the developments in therapy and the ongoing challenges of treating rare diseases.
