regarding natural products and homeopathy there are no much studies on them frankly speaking … specifically hemopathy its just by practice and trials .. that’s how they notice how effective they are … you will not be asked on this in evaluating exam how ever .. in qualifying in the Canadian main reference they use.. after every chapter they say , vitamins and herbal medicine need extra investigations and nothing is proved yet to take off the liability from their shoulders…. however these kind of science is derived from old traditions and pharmacopeia mainly .. however if they want to approve a vitamin for example for indication it goes through same procedures
yes sir
CADTH MAIN ROLE : Once Health Canada has approved a drug for use in Canada, the country’s public drug programs and cancer agencies must decide if the drug will be eligible for public reimbursement. The CADTH reimbursement review process plays an important role in their decision-making processes. ( YOU CAN SAY CADTH DECIDES .weather this new medication will be covered by the government program or not covered )
CDEC is appointed by, and reports to, CADTH’s President and CEO. Members must abide by the Conflict of Interest Guidelines for CADTH Expert Committee and Panel Members and the CADTH Code of Conduct. An honorarium is paid to CDEC members for their preparation and meeting time.
you can say ahmed that CDEC is the committee/ personal ( physicians / pharmacists /health care providers) who do the job and report to the CADTH ceo who takes the final decision
