supply the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, the U.S.
Department of Defense and the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile of

mission, via a unit called CivicaScript, to into the outpatient
pharmacy space and to manufacture and distribute insulins that,
once approved, will be available to people with diabetes at
significantly lower prices than insulins currently on the market.
The availability of Civica's affordable insulins, beginning in
2024, will benefit people with diabetes who have been forced to
choose between life sustaining medicines and living expenses,
particularly those uninsured or underinsured who often pay the most
out of pocket for their medications.Civica's mission is to ensure
that quality generic medications are accessible and affordable to
everyone. Since established, the #1 Policy for the Civica team has
