Our healthcare system is at a crossroads. Fragmented health data puts everyone at risk. The reintroduction of former Bill C-72, the Connected Care for Canadians Act, is a critical step toward person-centric, interoperable health data across the country.

When symptoms don’t clearly point to one illness, lives can hang in the balance.

A new UK study shows that diagnosis pathways for non-specific symptoms (like unexplained weight loss, fatigue, etc.) can catch cancer or serious illness in about 1 in 5 patients.

A lack of provider education on cancer symptoms is causing delays in diagnosis for many Canadians, as patient concerns are often minimized or dismissed by primary care providers.

Offering more appointments out of hours directly contributed to over three-quarters (76.1%) of patients receiving their cancer diagnosis or all clear within 28 days from July 2024 to January 2025, up from 71.8% 12 months earlier.

An extra 80,000 have had cancer a diagnosis or had it ruled out within the 28 target since July 2024, compared to a year earlier.

Figures show that 76.1% of patients were within 28 days compared to just 71.8% before.

Still more to do, but a big improvement thanks to Labour's efforts.

U.S. trained doctors - we feel for you, and we're ready to welcome you.

I'm glad to see provinces are taking the necessary steps to break down labour barriers, so doctors trained and Board Certified in the U.S. can practice in Canada immediately.
