Civica CEO Martin VanTrieste testifies before Congress on the security of the U.S. medicine supply chain
“The global coronavirus pandemic has highlighted weaknesses in the U.S. supply chain for essential medicines and other medical supplies…Many of the medicines used to manage COVID-19, including the sedatives and neuromuscular blocking agents essential for patients on ventilators, were already in short supply prior to the pandemic…Facing low margins and uncertain sales, companies are discouraged from investing in quality and incentivized to move production out of the U.S. to economies with lower labor costs, lower regulatory compliance costs and where they may receive direct or indirect support from foreign governments to build new facilities.”

Celebrating Civica’s 2nd Anniversary
From concept to today, Civica Rx (Civica, Inc) has proven to be a viable industry player, ensuring stable and predictable supplies of over 20 essential generic drugs so far, with an additional 20 under contract, and generating millions of dollars in savings for hospitals
Drug shortages can cause clinical and financial distress for patients and their families – medication errors, adverse events and increased out of pocket costs. For hospitals, drug shortages lead to increased costs due to price spikes and the need for more experts to manage shortages and search for the best possible alternative treatments.
As of September 2020, and one year after the first patient was treated with a Civica medication in Utah, Civica has delivered over eleven million vials and syringes to hospitals, treating up to 3 million patients across the United States.
In addition to stabilizing the supply of essential generic medicines, the collaborative Civica model has already saved health systems millions of dollars, with more savings to come.
