1. New Position Statement + Letter to Deputy Ministers of Health

As decided at our Fall Forum through a motion, the NRBDO has developed a position paper on the need for all fractionated products and their replacements to be provided universally and free of charge to patients through the CBS and Hema-Quebec formularies.

The position paper has been adopted by the board and was presented by David Page at the CBS open board meeting on December 6th.

Also as decided at the Fall Forum through a motion, this position paper has been sent to the Deputy Ministers of Health for each province and territory.

The letter to Deputy Ministers can be viewed here.
