Bio: Ganive completed her PhD (2017) at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute under the supervision of Dr. Bruce Vallance. She is currently serving as the Executive Director (ED) of a coalition of 30 chronic disease specific non-profit organizations and health charities, where she leads consultations with BC PharmaCare on health policy development and access to evidence-based medications and health technologies. Through her current role, as well as several board appointments at additional non-profits, Ganive has had the opportunity to consult on the implementation of a national pharmacare program, international harmonization of non-proprietary pharmaceutical naming with the World Health Organization, and ethical collaboration in the biopharmaceutical sector at Asia-Pacific Collaborative (APEC) summits.
