 Health Canada Issues Warning About Shortage of Chemotherapy Drugs
A government health watchdog in Canada has warned about the possibility of shortage of several chemotherapy and cancer treatment drugs and said that the government has to do more in order to protect the welfare of patients.
Health Canada issued the warning and said that the shortage of drugs could affect the treatment of various cancers and infectious diseases.

The warning comes after Health Canada decided to ban the import of drugs manufactured by Ohio-based Ben Venue Laboratories due to “substandard manufacturing practices.”
