#NovaScotia became the first jurisdiction in #NorthAmerica to pass reverse onus legislation; rather than requiring people to sign up for #organdonation , it is presumed, with the ability to opt out. So far, only 3% of people have opted out! @CBCNS https://bit.ly/3vwTp2G

Canadians face barriers to accessing #palliativecare. This is partly because the public and #healthcare providers associate palliative care with dying soon, rather than helping patients live well now and find meaning in life @ConversationCA https://bit.ly/3iOgCe7

“In 2013 in the GTA, visible #minorities made up 47% of the population, yet they comprised only 14% of hospital board committees.” To this day, people in power in #healthcare do not reflect who they serve, and this needs to change @HealthyDebate https://bit.ly/35fZzd4

Delayed diagnoses due to the #COVID19Pandemic are concerning for patients and physicians.

Patients are encouraged to access the care that they need and advocate for themselves despite #healthcare backlogs
