US Tariffs


With U.S. tariffs now expected to take effect on March 4 [updated February 27, 2025, 11:10 am], HealthPRO Canada continues to take decisive action to protect the healthcare supply chain and ensure uninterrupted access to essential medical products.

Our Latest Actions

  1. Advocacy for Healthcare Supply Chain Protection
    HealthPRO Canada is actively engaging with policymakers to secure exemptions for medical devices, supplies, and pharmaceuticals from both Canadian and U.S. tariffs. This includes direct participation in government roundtables to emphasize the critical need for healthcare supply chain stability.

  2. Raising Awareness and Mobilizing Support
    Through a published op-ed in Longwoods, national The HQ Podcast discussion, and a recent press release, HealthPRO Canada is amplifying the urgency of protecting the healthcare supply chain amid economic uncertainty and potential tariff risks.

  3. Collaboration with Industry Partners
    The organization has convened its Healthcare Leadership Advisory Council to develop risk mitigation strategies and is working closely with industry partners, including Medtech Canada and the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association, to advocate for long-term tariff exemptions

    As we await further clarity on U.S. tariffs, we are actively monitoring the situation and assessing potential mitigation strategies to adopt based on next week’s developments. Our commitment to protecting the healthcare supply chain and supporting healthcare providers across the country remains steadfast.
