Finding a Drug Company
Countries that want to use Canada's Access to Medicines Regime are required to make an
arrangement with a Canadian pharmaceutical company that is prepared to manufacture the needed drug or medical
device. Non-governmental organizations may be able to
help a country connect with a pharmaceutical company interested in exporting. See the list of
pharmaceutical industry associations in Canada, along with the
types of medicines in which their members specialize, for help in identifying companies that might be prepared
to participate in the Regime.
Once an arrangement has been established, the responsibility for submitting an application under the Regime
belongs to the exporting company. As part of its application, a company will require a certified copy of the
letter of notification sent to the
World
Trade Organization or the
Government of Canada by the importing country.
