๐Ÿ‘‰Ontario is considering expanding pharmacists' responsibilities to include treating 14 additional common ailments, such as sore throats, shingles, and some sleep disorders. Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced that the government is consulting with industry stakeholders on this potential change. Additionally, pharmacists might soon be able to order and perform tests for strep throat and administer vaccines for tetanus, diphtheria, pneumococcal, and shingles. Pharmacy technicians could also be authorized to administer vaccines for hepatitis, rabies, and meningitis. These measures aim to alleviate pressure on family doctors and hospitals while improving patient access to healthcare.โœ… . ๐”๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐š, ๐š๐ง ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #OntarioHealthcare #PharmacyExpansion #PharmacistCare #HealthcareAccess #HealthInnovation #AilmentTreatment #VaccineAdministration #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Ontario is considering expanding the role of pharmacists by allowing them to treat additional minor ailments, administer more vaccines, and order lab tests. Currently, pharmacists can address 19 ailments such as pink eye and acne. The government now proposes adding conditions like sore throat, headaches, and fungal infections to the list. Additionally, they may fund pharmacists to administer vaccines for tetanus, shingles, and RSV, among others. Pharmacy technicians could also be permitted to provide these vaccines. While pharmacists support the expansion to ease the burden on the health-care system, some doctors express concerns about this shift in responsibilityโœ… . ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž- ๐€๐ญ ๐š ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ! ๐‰๐จ๐ฆ ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ ๐Œ๐จ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ +๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฆ.๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐š๐ฆ@๐œ๐ข๐›๐œ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @jom_mattam . . #OntarioHealth #PharmacyCare #HealthCareAccess #PharmacistRole #VaccineExpansion #MinorAilments #HealthReform #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰In Ontario, patients, fearing de-rostering by family doctors, increasingly visit emergency rooms for non-urgent care. Triage nurse Jennefer Muir recounts instances where patients, like a mother with a sick child, avoid walk-in clinics due to threats of de-enrollment. Ontario's Ministry of Health clarifies ER visits don't automatically trigger de-enrollment but acknowledges concerns. Dr. Allan Grill explains a fee-for-service model used by some clinics, alleviating fears of loss but confusion persists. Patients resorting to ERs for minor ailments strain resources. Karin Bowyer's experience highlights the repercussions of this trend, with non-urgent cases flooding hospitals.โœ… . ๐’๐ž๐œ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ž๐ž๐ง๐š ๐•๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ๐ž, ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ'๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ ๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ-๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ’ @neena.robin . . #OntarioHealthcare #ERVisits #FamilyDoctors #DeEnrollment #HealthcareAccess #PatientCare #EmergencyMedicine #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubรฉ announced plans to introduce a bill eliminating the need for doctor's notes for insurance reimbursements. If passed, patients won't require a doctor's note for consultations with healthcare professionals or for orthopedic equipment. The measure will apply to all Quebec residents, regardless of their insurance provider. Doctors have long complained about spending excessive time on paperwork for insurers, which this bill aims to alleviate. This move is expected to free up half a million appointments annually. Patients without access to a family doctor also struggled with where to file health claims without doctor's notes.โœ… . ๐”๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐š, ๐š๐ง ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #QuebecHealthcare #InsuranceReimbursement #DoctorNotes #HealthMinister #HealthcareAccess #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Canada has decided to terminate federal funding for the free HIV self-test program, despite a significant surge in positive cases across the country. Dr. Sean Rourke, a scientist at St. Michaelโ€™s MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions, expresses dismay over the cancellation, emphasizing the importance of the self-test kits, particularly for underserved communities such as Black Canadians, Indigenous populations, and at-risk youth. The decision comes amidst a nearly 25% increase in HIV cases nationwide in 2022 compared to the previous year, with the Prairies experiencing the most significant uptick. Experts attribute the rise to decreased testing during the COVID-19 pandemic and a lack of awareness about preventative treatments, alongside barriers to healthcare faced by marginalized communities.โœ… . ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ ๐„๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐‚๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐’๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข ๐‚๐ก๐š๐œ๐ค๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐œ๐ข๐ฉ๐š๐ฅ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ž๐ซ, ๐‚๐ก๐š๐œ๐ค๐จ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ ๐Ÿ“ฒ+๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ—-๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ– ๐Ÿ“ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข@๐œ๐ก๐š๐œ๐ค๐จ๐ฅ๐š๐ฐ.๐œ๐š @chackolaw.ca . . #HIVAwareness #PublicHealth #HIVTesting #HealthcareAccess #CanadaHealth #PreventativeHealth #HealthInequities #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰In response to limited options for timely medical care, Ontario residents like Kyle Truong are turning to private clinics where nurse practitioners offer quick appointments, albeit without coverage from the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. While some express disappointment at the extra cost, many praise the efficiency and accessibility of these clinics. The trend highlights gaps in the public healthcare system, leading to a surge in private primary care alternatives. Annual memberships, often ranging from $70 to $90 per appointment, are becoming increasingly popular. The development prompts discussions on healthcare accessibility and the role of private clinics.โœ… . ๐“๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š & ๐‡๐จ๐ง๐๐š ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐”๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐ฏ๐ž๐ก๐ข๐œ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐…๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ ๐š๐ฌ ๐œ๐š๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ž! ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐‰๐จ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฉ๐ก ๐€๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐’๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ซ +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ’-๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ.๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ค๐ค๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ง@๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ซ๐จ๐š๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š.๐œ๐š ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐›๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐š.๐œ๐š ๐Ÿ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐, ๐๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง, ๐Ž๐ ๐‹๐Ÿ”๐ฌ ๐ŸŽ๐‚๐Ÿ @mukkadan.joseph . . #OntarioHealthcare #NursePractitioners #PrivateClinics #HealthcareAccess #PatientExperience #OntarioHealth #MedicalInnovation #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
