👉Ontario plans to nearly double the number of publicly funded MRI and CT scans offered through private clinics, aiming to add 100,000 more scans annually. Currently, seven clinics provide these services. Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced the expansion, with new licences expected in the fall. Last year, over two million Ontarians received MRIs and CT scans, with nearly 150,000 in private clinics. This initiative seeks to reduce the average wait time for scans from 90 days for MRIs and 81 days for CT scans to 28 days across the province, as part of a broader effort to reduce wait times for various medical procedures.✅ .

👉Ontario nursing unions, including the Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) and the Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario (WeRPN), advocate for the phase-out of health-care staffing agencies to prevent unqualified individuals from working in facilities like long-term care homes. This call comes after a fake nurse worked for seven months in long-term care homes, raising concerns about oversight and safety. The unions highlight the lack of oversight and investment in the public health-care system, emphasizing the need for improved conditions to retain nursing staff. The Ontario Auditor General's report also raised concerns about the use of agency staff in health care, recommending strategies to reduce usage and prevent errors. The Ministry of Long-Term Care committed to reviewing the use of agency staff and implementing recruitment and retention programs.✅ .

👉The Canadian government is set to introduce a federal dental insurance plan for eligible residents, with the first claims anticipated in May. Officials, speaking anonymously, revealed that the program will be gradually implemented throughout 2024. This initiative is a crucial element of the Liberals' agreement with the New Democrats, targeting Canadians with a household income below $90,000 and lacking private insurance. Applications open soon, initially for seniors over 87, while full implementation is slated for 2025, fulfilling the Liberals' promise to the NDP.✅ . #DentalCareForAll #HealthcareInitiative #CanadaDentalPlan #FederalAnnouncement #OralHealthCoverage #PublicHealthCare #DentalInsurance #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
