What can we learn from the Dutch 🇳🇱 and the Danes 🇩🇰 about primary care? A whole lot. @picardonhealth @globeandmail has an amazing ability to summarize complex concepts in a few hundred words. Appreciate his sharing of key reflections from my travels

Appreciate the shout out to my parents and my origin story as part of this feature about my own work from Desi News. My parents came to Canada as immigrants in the 70's. They helped instill values of hard work, curiosity & courage that I carry with me

How is it that >6.5 million people in Canada don't have a family doctor or any access to primary care? In this new video, we explain why #primarycare is in crisis, how we got here and most importantly, what we can do about it. It's time to act

More than a thousand people lined up overnight in freezing weather, starting as early as 2am, not for the latest shiny product but for something that should be available to everyone--a family doctor.

Thanks @TheSocialCTV for inviting me to kick off your "Care in Canada" series with a deep dive into the primary care crisis. When >6.5 million don't have access to primary care, it truly is a crisis. But it's a crisis we can do something about.
