Canadians are proud of their health care system. But long wait times for medical procedures have begun to erode this pride. What’s really behind wait times in Canada and will they ever go away? What’s the solution? More doctors? More money? More privatization?
Health research is playing a key role in finding solutions to the problem. Join us for refreshments and a lively discussion about what’s causing long lines for treatment and what can be done to solve the problem. Don’t wait!
