The MP for Provencher is trying to get a potentially life-saving drug approved by Health Canada but is hitting a wall.
Ted Falk says he has been in communication with various Cystic Fibrosis patients across his riding in southeastern Manitoba who have indicated that the ability to access a new drug called Trikafta might mean the difference between life and death. Especially during the added threat of COVID-19.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a progressive respiratory disease that can significantly decrease a person’s lung capacity. When combined with the novel coronavirus, another respiratory illness, CF can easily be fatal.
