Petition for Madigral to apply to Health Canada

The Fatty Liver Alliance has released a petition in hopes of nudging Madigral to apply to Health Canada, so Canadians with MASH can have access to Rexdriffa. Currently there has been no indication they plan to bring the drug to Canada, so we hope this petition will demonstrate the interest and need for the medication in Canada. Please share with anyone who has an interest in fatty liver disease.
