Drug
Cost Reimbursement
Since
it was established, the Manitoba Social Action Committee has
worked to achieve drug cost reimbursement for new MS disease-modifying
drugs through the provincial Pharmacare program. Thanks to our
efforts four drugs for the treatment of relapsing-remitting
MS and one for secondary progressive MS have been added to the
provincial formulary. Similar campaigns have been successfully
undertaken by MS Society divisions across the country. The following
document some of our efforts on this issue over the years.
