Dear Paov --
You are invited to participate in an Accountability Assembly, on October 11 at 4:30pm - 6:00pm, where Minister of Health Adrian Dix will join us to discuss seniors care. The BC Health Coalition is bringing together seniors, families, and workers to share their stories that outline key issues in seniors care and have the Minister respond to questions directly related to his mandate.
Register for the Accountability AssemblyIn the past twenty years, home support has been devalued and rationed, with access to publicly funded home support consistently declining in BC since 2001. At the same time, for-profit long-term care companies have been pocketing public funds as profits and degrading the standard of care provided in residential care.
While the pandemic showed us that our government can act boldly and decisively to make rapid system improvements, we've also seen how quickly political will can move on to other issues. That’s why it is important...

Your August 2022 monthly update
from the
BC Health Coalition
UPDATES
Outsourcing to private clinics
Private for-profit surgeries and medical imaging are big business in BC and taxpayers are funding them. Over the last six years, the BC government has subsidized for-profit providers through millions of dollars in contracts which, in the long-term, degrades our public health care system through the draining of workforce and capital to the private sector. The BC Health Coalition and Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives have jointly published a report that looks into this concerning trend. Read more HERE.

Fire Relief Effort - Matanza, Cuba
Dear Friends in Solidarty with Cuba,
On Friday, August 5th, a major oil storage facility in Matanzas, Cuba, 65 miles East of Havana, was hit by lightning. Since then, an enormous fire has been raging. This tremendous explosion and hard-to-control fire have left several people missing (including firefighters), many injured with severe burns, and hundreds evacuated from their homes.
This tragedy has also had immediate repercussions for the entire population in that province and the whole island since it affects their electricity supply and health facilities which already suffer under the weight of the U.S. Blockade due to lack of spare parts and scarcity of medicine.
In this dire crisis, Cuba and its government have responded immediately and on-site have led efforts to contain the fire, prevent a major environmental disaster, and keep its population safe. It has also called for international aid and solidarity. The governments of Mexico, Venezuela, and several others have promptly offered material aid and have sent experts and firefighters to confront this...
