Access matters. But as a credit care feature? We need to re-focus on #equitable access to primary care for all Canadians. Quite literally, the future health of Canadians - and Canada - depends on it.

I think elements of this training pathway are part of the reason why general practice is highly respected in 🇩🇰 and paid as well as other specialties. Relative pay and respect influence recruitment and retention of GPs—something we need to do better at in 🇨🇦

Fun fact: nearly every person in Denmark 🇩🇰 has the name of their GP (or group of GPs) on their healthcard It's an organized system where 98+% have access to primary care. How do they do it? One key lies in how GPs are organized. 🧵 (photos of Christian Folsach's practice)

We have also been working closely with @CMPAMembers and have ensured that the OMA provided testimony on behalf of Dr. Ma during this hearing.
