Emergency supplies of pain and fever medication are expected to arrive soon at hospitals overwhelmed by respiratory illnesses but observers say more can be done to guard against future drug shortages.

The agency did not disclose how much was expected or how stock will be split among hospitals, but promised "fair distribution of supply across Canada."
