Department of Health and Human Services Task Force Releases Report on Prescription Drug Importation - 12/23/04
December 23, 2004
Cynthia E. Berry
In this edition of the Advocacy & Government Relations Client Alert we discuss the final report (released on December 21) of the Department of Health and Human Services Task Force on Drug Importation. Reiterating that access to safe and affordable prescription drugs is an important policy goal, the Task Force concluded that drug importation would be costly to implement, provide little overall savings and, if not restricted to commercial importation from Canada, could be dangerous to consumers. The Task Force advised that all aspects of achieving safety, quality and cost-effectiveness must be comprehensively examined before imported drugs can be considered safe.
