Spreading awareness and creating support systems for those with Dementia and their families is an important issue to tackle in healthcare. This action plan is a great step in improving these issues. #MED6288

We should also be considering the effectiveness of social support networks for physicians. Rural physicians have a big workload, so it is important that they have a good work life balance. Suggestion: create supportive contact networks with rural doctors.

You should be focusing on how to make healthier food choices more accessible for the population instead of allowing millions of Canadians to rely on cheap food with low nutrient density and trying to tell people how to eat - focus on the real problem! This makes no sense #MED6288

@GovCanHealth This advice is poorly thought out and not accommodating. Where is the exercise advice for people who cannot walk? Cannot ride a bike or cannot readily access sporting events? Health Canada should be considering these problems as well #MED6288#PublicHealthCanada#PublicHealth

Reconciliation efforts should not be slowing down. Just 13 of 94 Calls to Action have been addressed - none involving healthcare services. We should be proactively working towards reconciliation instead of addressing them when it is politically attractive. https://t.co/VqlSvKG2hn
@meta201012@canadanurses And stated is the shortage of nurses in the Philippines! Could our healthcare officials think that the issues of our healthcare system takes priority over another country? I think we should be addressing the concerns of our nurses first, before making lateral moves. #MED6288
