    This event is hosted by the CSA Group.

    Canada’s healthcare system is under significant strain. The lasting impacts of the pandemic, and an aging and growing population, are putting additional pressure on the system. Despite the promise of universal health care, nearly a quarter of Canadians do not have access to a primary care physician, prolonged wait times are increasingly the norm, and some services such as treatment for mental health aren’t covered at all for many.

    Canadian health care should be held to a higher standard. Canada needs a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to build a modern system that prioritizes patients’ overall wellbeing.
