P-E-I has signed a four-year 30-million dollar pharmacare agreement with Ottawa to provide universal access to diabetes medication and contraceptives.
The funding will also cover diabetes devices and supplies as of May 1.
The province is the third to sign up with Ottawa following similar deals recently inked with Manitoba and British Columbia.
As part of another agreement, 10-million dollars will also go toward improving access to drugs for rare diseases and for early diagnoses and screening.
