CHA submitted comments to the bicameral request for information (RFI) on drug shortages. Our response calls on Congress to prioritize the unique health care needs of children when strengthening and stabilizing the nation’s supply chain to forestall shortages.

We emphasize that efforts to address drug shortages throughout government must be aligned, coordinated, strengthened and adequately funded to specifically support the needs of pediatric patients.
