Children’s Healthcare Canada Calls on Federal Government to Declare Children’s Health and Well-Being a National Priority

Pan-Canadian children’s health advocate Children’s Healthcare Canada is calling on the federal government to show political will to solve the crises plaguing children’s healthcare and declare children’s health and well-being a national priority.

A new report by the Association titled Beyond Bandaids: Delivering Healthcare Fit for Kids calls on the federal government to establish an unprecedented National Children’s Strategy and designate a Chief Child Health Officer. This strategy would set targets and timelines to measurably improve kids’ health, a hallmark of other peer countries that report consistently higher children’s health outcomes.
