Description
Guest: Dr. Tara Kiran, national lead for OurCare, scientist at the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael’s Hospital and the University of Toronto A nationwide health-care crisis has led a group of medical researchers to criss-cross the country to hear how Canadians would fix primary care, the front door of the health system. It’s called the OurCare project, the largest initiative of this kind, and through it medical researchers have surveyed close to 10,000 people from across Canada to ask them about their access to a family doctor and what is most important to them in their primary health care. We take a look at some of those answers. You can read more about this nation-wide project and also take a quiz find out how your primary care measures up here.
