Our mission and role

We are advocates not just for pharmaceutical distributors, but also for drug manufacturers and the pharmacies themselves. It can be a delicate balancing act because something beneficial to a member in one sector can be detrimental to one in another.

The Industry Commitment

Maximizing Efficiency & Building a Path Forward

Canada’s pharmaceutical distributors have maximized operational efficiencies through continuous innovation and investments in new facilities, IT, automation, and six-sigma capabilities. They continue to deliver on their promise of ensuring safe, secure, and timely access to healthcare products to all Canadians in the face of mounting industry pressures. Today, market conditions threaten the exemplary service standards that Canadians have come to rely on. Changing regulatory environments and shrinking revenue lines are forcing the industry to consider significant adjustments. CAPDM is committed to working with stakeholders to find solutions that support a path forward to sustain Canada’s globally revered pharmacy supply chain.
