👉The federal government has approved British Columbia’s request to recriminalize hard drugs in public spaces, responding to concerns over public drug use. Mental Health and Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks announced the decision on Parliament Hill, stating that it would be effective immediately. B.C. had been running a three-year pilot project to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of certain illicit drugs, but safety concerns led to the request for the project's early termination. Despite this, exemptions in the Criminal Code for personal drug use will still apply in private residences, certain health-care clinics, shelters, and overdose prevention sites, ensuring that those in need can seek help without fear of arrest.✅ .

👉Cancer experts warn that outdated guidelines for cancer screening in Canada are putting lives at risk. Carolyn Holland, a breast cancer survivor, believes her late diagnosis could have been prevented if screening had started earlier. Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, responsible for issuing guidelines, is criticized for relying on old data, lacking expert input, and being slow to update recommendations. Dr. Shiela Appavoo, a radiologist, states that current guidelines restrict access to crucial screening, impacting millions of Canadians. A coalition of specialists, family doctors, and patients is urging for an overhaul of the guideline creation process.✅ .

👉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. Michael’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.✅ .

👉The Near North District School Board in northern Ontario has spearheaded efforts to combat vaping in schools, garnering attention across the province. Following a surge in vaping post-pandemic, the board initiated a pilot project at Almaguin Highlands Secondary School, installing vape detectors in washrooms. These wireless detectors resemble smoke alarms and alert the principal when vape is detected. The project successfully reduced vaping incidents, prompting plans to implement similar measures in six other secondary schools. The provincial budget allocated $30 million for installing vape detectors in schools, emphasizing the urgency of addressing youth vaping crisis. Principal Emily Samuel highlighted the positive impact of detectors in enhancing students' safety and well-being.✅ . 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞- 𝐀𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

👉In response to the Winnipeg lab scandal, Canada is set to unveil a state-of-the-art pathogen research facility, bolstering its pandemic readiness. The Centre for Pandemic Research, housed within the University of Saskatchewan's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO), will be the nation's sole non-government Level 4 lab. According to VIDO's director Volker Gerdts, this upgrade ensures Canada's autonomy in critical research and vaccine development. The move coincides with federal efforts to enhance biosafety measures, following security breaches at the Public Health Agency of Canada's Level 4 lab. Despite past controversies, VIDO remains committed to national security protocols, collaborating closely with Canadian authorities.✅ . 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚-𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭!

👉More than six million Canadians face a healthcare crisis, lacking regular access to family doctors, leading to preventable deaths and diseases, warn experts. In Canada's publicly funded healthcare, family doctors serve as crucial gatekeepers for coordinating care and access to essential services. The system contrasts with the U.S., as Canadians must rely on family doctors for specialized care. With a growing population and mass retirements of family doctors, the Ontario Medical Association predicts one in four residents without a family doctor by 2026. Dr. David Barber emphasizes the urgency, likening it to unacceptable rates of children without teachers.✅ . 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞- 𝐀𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

👉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.✅ . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.

👉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.✅ . . #Canada #Cigarettes #PublicHealth #TobaccoBan #LifetimeBan #Smoking #HealthPolicy #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

👉Health authorities in Canada are urgently investigating a significant outbreak of E. coli, predominantly affecting young children attending daycares in Calgary. Dr. Mark Joffe, Alberta's chief medical officer, revealed that the outbreak has been traced back to a centralized kitchen that supplies meals to multiple nursery facilities. After a surge in pediatric cases requiring emergency room visits, doctors swiftly identified the common link: the kitchen operated by a company called Fueling Brains, which services daycare centres in both Calgary and Saskatoon. To date, 264 children have fallen ill, with at least six requiring dialysis due to kidney failure, and over two dozen diagnosed with haemolytic uraemic syndrome, a kidney-affecting disease. The affected children are all under the age of five, and the number of cases continues to rise. While the source of the outbreak is yet to be determined, all 11 affected daycares have been supplied by the implicated kitchen. The situation is being closely monitored as health officials work to contain and resolve the outbreak✅ . . #EColiOutbreak #DaycareOutbreak #CanadaHealth #PublicHealth #ChildSafety #OutbreakInvestigation #Calgary #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
