A continued push for improved healthcare in Canada.

National, provincial and territorial medical organizations representing physicians across Canada are coming together.

They’re asking the federal, provincial and territorial governments to collaborate and begin solving the country’s health system crisis.

These organizations are disappointed that meaningful commitments to pan-Canadian collaboration and increased healthcare funding did not emerge from the recent health ministers’ meeting in Vancouver.

The letter was signed by the presidents of the Canadian Medical Association, the Alberta Medical Association, Doctors of BC, Doctors Manitoba, Doctors Nova Scotia, the Fédération des médecins omnipraticiens du Québec, the Fédération des médecins spécialistes du Québec, the Medical Society of Prince Edward Island, the New Brunswick Medical Society, the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association, the Northwest Territories Medical Association, the Ontario Medical Association, the Saskatchewan Medical Association and Yukon Medical Association.
