In a recent interview with Healthcare Brew, Laura Bray discussed how the Iran war could create new vulnerabilities across the global pharmaceutical supply chain, adding pressure to a system already struggling with ongoing drug shortages.
Drug shortages affect real patients every single day—making reliable access to medication not just a goal, but a necessity. That’s why we’re proud to champion the patient voice in three important CMS comment letters focused on strengthening a more dependable and resilient drug supply.
At Angels for Change, advocacy is more than a mission—it’s action. By collaborating with leading partners such as the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy, the End Drug Shortages Alliance (EDSA), and the U.S. Pharmacopeia Drug Shortage Task Force, we’re helping drive solutions that are both practical and firmly rooted in the real needs of patients.
The newest Change Maker Chronicle is here! Drug shortages are still impacting patients every day, but together we are pushing forward. See how we’re raising awareness, fostering advocacy, and building resilent drug supply chains to end drug shortages NOW.
Angels for Change is proud to announce a major Project PROTECT milestone: our partner Fagron Sterile Services is now fully production-ready with new U.S. capacity for Sterile Water for Injection—a critical component used in countless injectable medicines.
This marks the second successful Project PROTECT collaboration with Fagron, following earlier investments that helped protect patients during the IV fluid shortage in 2024. By investing in domestic manufacturing infrastructure, we’re strengthening the resilience of the U.S. drug supply and protecting patients before shortages occur.
We don’t just talk about ending drug shortages—we’re creating solutions that build onshore readiness, strengthen supply chains, and protect patient access to lifesaving medicines.
Thank you Milken Institute for hosting a fantastic supply chain panel, "Transforming the Health-Care Supply Chain for the Future", at the 2023 Future of Health Summit.

90% of the majority of medications Americans take are generics. These generics should never be in shortage, especially when patients' lives are at stake. At Angels for Change, we know there is a path forward. It is not our mission to simply help the crisis, but instill a permanent systemic change to end drug shortages.
