About CADTH

CADTH is an independent, not-for-profit organization responsible for providing Canada’s health care decision-makers with objective evidence to help make informed decisions about the optimal use of drugs and medical devices in our health care system. Patient groups, patients, and their families already contribute to CADTH, including to our CADTH pharmaceutical review programs and health technology assessments. As our recommendations and advice on publicly funded drugs, tests, devices, and procedures impact patients in Canada, we want patients and the public to be more involved in our work and in how we do our work.
