CADTH Is Now Canada’s Drug Agency

As of May 1, 2024 CADTH is no more, as it adopts its new operating name: Canada’s Drug Agency (the "CDA"). The CDA expands on CADTH’s existing mandate and functions to include:

1. improving the appropriate prescribing and use of medications;
2. increasing pan-Canadian data collection and expanding access to drug and treatment data, including real-world evidence data; and
3. reducing drug system duplication and lack of coordination.

The CDA will be providing updates over the coming months regarding these new mandates.
