APhA: Transparency, Safety and Availability Must Be Core Principles for Strengthening America's Drug Supply Chain

The reliability, quality and safety of our nation's drug supply chain are essential to the nation's security and health and well-being of the American public. Therefore, we welcome comprehensive federal efforts to improve the state of our drug supply chain, particularly at a time when our health care system is under extraordinary stress. The President's Executive Order last week, "Ensuring Essential Medicines, Medical Countermeasures and Critical Inputs Are Made in the United States," is an important step forward, recognizing that available and safe medications and medical devices are essential to the health and well-being of our nation.
