Session Chair(s)
Rania Mouchantaf, PHD
A/Executive Director, Marketed Pharmaceuticals Bureau, MHPD, Health Canada, Canada
The Government of Canada is committed to protecting the health and safety of all Canadians through a comprehensive, compassionate, collaborative and evidence-based approach to addressing problematic substance use. In June 2017, Health Canada proposed amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations that would enable the Minister of Health to require pharmaceutical manufacturers to have in place a risk management plan to monitor and mitigate risks associated with their opioid products, once they are on the market. This session will give an update on the progress of the measures to implement greater Risk Management for Opioids.
