Ottawa and province announce expansion of PEI’s drug coverage

The federal and provincial governments have announced an expansion of Prince Edward Island’s drug coverage starting today.  P-E-I will expand its provincial drug coverage to reduce co-pays for almost 60 per cent of medications regularly used by residents. It will also increase access to the provincial High-Cost Drug Program.  The province will get 35-million dollars over four years in federal funding to improve access to prescription drugs, and make them more affordable.
