OTTAWA, ON, March 31, 2021 /CNW/ - In preparation for the April 19 federal budget, a coalition of healthcare providers is banding together to demand urgent action from the Trudeau Government to improve access to primary care services in Canada through dedicated investments to strengthen primary care.
The Canadian Medical Association (CMA), the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC), the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW), the Canadian Home Care Association (CHCA), and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) are calling on the federal government to deliver on its commitment to ensure all Canadians have access to a primary care provider.

In recent years, the Public Health Agency of Canada recognized racism as a determinant of health; the Toronto Board of Health and the Canadian Nurses Association also identified anti-Black racism as a public health emergency. Professional organizations such as Black Physicians of Canada, Alberta Black Therapist Network, Alberta Association of Black Social Workers, and Black Physicians’ Association of Alberta have formed, in large part, to dismantle anti-Black racism in the health-care sector. However, many policy-makers and service providers do not recognize the need to directly address anti-Black racism.
