Letter to FDA on Critical Shortages Affecting Pediatric Care

On behalf of children's hospitals, CHA sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asking the agency to prioritize pediatric needs by addressing two critical shortages affecting children and families served by children's hospitals: powdered infant formula and valves used for infant and child feedings through intravenous therapy. The letter urges swift action by the FDA to stabilize the market and identify safe and appropriate solutions to address the acute shortages affecting children.
