Canada’s Drug Agency (CDA-AMC)
In December 2023, it was announced that Canada’s Drug Agency would be built from CADTH. The work of the drug agency expands on CADTH’s existing mandate and functions — which spans drugs, medical devices, and clinical interventions — and includes new work streams such as:
- improving the appropriate prescribing and use of medications
- increasing pan-Canadian data collection and expanding access to drug and treatment data, including real-world evidence data
- reducing drug system duplication and lack of coordination
CADTH adopted the new name Canada’s Drug Agency (CDA-AMC) as of May 1, 2024. An official launch will occur later this year.

The CCRA is pleased to announce the addition of two new member organizations: Bladder Cancer Canada and Myeloma Canada, and we welcome new representatives: Michelle Colero, Executive Director, Bladder Cancer Canada and Martine Elias, Executive Director, Myeloma Canada.
