The Ontario Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Pfizer Canada, has released a new resource to help chart a path toward a more agile, secure, and patient-centred healthcare procurement system in Ontario and across Canada.
Trade, Innovation, and Access: Reimagining Healthcare Procurement captures key insights from recent cross sectoral engagement, but its relevance extends well beyond the room. This summary highlights ongoing conversations among policymakers, industry leaders, and healthcare stakeholders as we look to modernize procurement, strengthen supply chains, and position Canada as a leader in life sciences innovation.
Key themes include:
- Value over cost: Advancing Value-Based Procurement for better long-term outcomes.
- Stronger collaboration: Institutionalizing partnerships across sectors.
- Scaling innovation: Breaking the “pilot-to-nowhere” cycle.
- Learning from success: Insights on B.C.’s successful immunization program.
