๐Ÿ‘‰Newfoundland and Labrador is exploring stricter tobacco regulations, including a potential ban on selling cigarettes to individuals born after a certain date. This move, aimed at phasing out tobacco sales over time, seeks public feedback this month. Health Minister Tom Osborne emphasized that the consultation may not lead to immediate changes but aims to gauge public opinion. Similar initiatives have been considered in other regions, such as P.E.I. and internationally. Rob Cunningham of the Canadian Cancer Society supports stronger measures, citing evidence that higher age requirements reduce teenage smoking.โœ… . ๐๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ง๐๐ข๐š-๐‚๐š๐ง๐š๐๐š ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ข๐ญ! ๐‘๐š๐ก๐ฆ๐š๐ง ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ—-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ”, ๐Ÿ—๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“-๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ๐Ÿ-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ• ๐ฌ๐š๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ@๐ซ๐š๐ก๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž๐ฌ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @rahmantravelservices . . #TobaccoRegulations #PublicHealth #NLSmokeFree #HealthPolicy #TobaccoBan #SmokeFreeGeneration #TeenSmoking #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Health Canada has released updated information on eligibility for Canada's national dental care plan, addressing concerns raised by seniors about potential disqualification due to existing private dental insurance. Individuals with personally purchased private plans qualify for the national program once their existing policies expire. Those with workplace or organizational coverage, regardless of opting out, claiming, or paying premiums, remain ineligible. An exception is made for retirees who opted out of pension dental plans before Dec. 11, 2023, and cannot rejoin. Health Minister Mark Holland emphasized the considerations for retirees who made choices before the national program announcement.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 . . #DentalCarePlan #HealthCanadaUpdate #SeniorEligibility #InsuranceClarification #CanadianHealthcar#HealthPolicy #NationalDentalPla #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰A recent report by the Public Policy Forum stresses the urgent need for Canada to transition its health records to a digital format accessible to all care team members by 2028. Criticizing the outdated handling of records, the report highlights the prevalence of fax machines and the consequent loss of information and referrals. Professionals like Dr. Kashif Pirzada lament the reliance on fax for specialist consults, stressing its inefficiency and potential for missed care opportunities. Despite some individual efforts towards electronic records, the system remains antiquated, hindering efficient communication and care delivery. Advocates emphasize the benefits of digitalization, including improved patient-physician relationships and reduced wait times. While federal funding is available for modernization, provincial uptake varies, with only a few provinces onboard so far. The overhaul is seen as crucial for maintaining staff and enhancing patient care nationwide.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 . . #DigitalTransformation #PublicHealth #HealthcareTechnology #PatientCare #Modernization #HealthPolicy #CanadianHealthcare #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Health experts want Canada to think about a policy similar to one that was dropped in New Zealand and would make it illegal to sell cigarettes to anyone born after 2008. Andrew Pipe of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute supports this as a way to keep young people from becoming addicted to nicotine. The plan calls for limiting the amount of nicotine in cigarettes, cutting down on retailers, and not letting people born after 2008 buy them. Health Canada in Canada is looking at what the public has to say about lowering tobacco use, and supporters stress the need for full coverage, which includes vaping products.โœ… . . #Canada #Cigarettes #PublicHealth #TobaccoBan #LifetimeBan #Smoking #HealthPolicy #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
