For child-friendly medicines

To facilitate the development and commercialization of safe and effective pediatric drug formulations by:
- Promoting a research-based approach to pediatric formulation development.
- Advocating for a clinical and regulatory environment that fosters pediatric formulation development.
- Advocating for incentives that will stimulate and attract the development of pediatric formulations.
- Identifying hurdles and challenges in the pediatric formulation development process and in the regulatory landscape, and acting as a change agent.
To promote practices to increase the safety of medicines administered to children.

These goals are in line with the findings of a recent report from the Council of Canadian Academies, Improving Medicines for Children in Canada, and a second report from the Canadian Senate, Prescription Pharmaceuticals in Canada.
