Congratulations to the new Prime Minister

BC Family Doctors congratulates Prime Minister Mark Carney on the federal Liberal party’s election victory. In this time of uncertainty, we urge you to value the critical role family doctors play as the heart of healthcare. We hope you will make healthcare a priority and listen to the voices of family doctors and patients across this country. We need to fix our flailing healthcare system.

Now is the time to make real investments in healthcare.

With more than 700,000 British Columbians and over 6.5 million Canadians without a family doctor, we are ready to work together with provincial and federal governments to transform our healthcare system by:

1. Putting patients before paperwork
2. Making information sharing seamless
3. Strengthening rural healthcare

Together, let’s create the resources and supports we need to create a robust primary care system.
