Letter to President Trump on the American Health Supply Chain

March 27, 2020

To: President Donald J. Trump

"Today, patients in the United States and around the world depend on the use of global supply chains that facilitate ongoing access to needed medicines. These supply chains have been built over decades and include appropriate safeguards to ensure safety and efficacy of products. Keeping that supply chain strong is even more critical as we fight a global pandemic. That’s why the biopharmaceutical industry has been working together with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to take significant steps to ensure continuity in our medicine supply. Proposals to drive all manufacturing to the United States not only overestimate the potential feasibility and underestimate the time and effort it would take to make such changes, but also misunderstand that a diverse pharmaceutical supply chain is precisely what enables the industry to respond quickly and make adjustments in its supply chain sourcing during natural emergencies and global public health crises."
