Health care reform for the people: A conversation with former Canadian Health Minister Jane Philpott

Former Canadian Health Minister Jane Philpott is calling for an overhaul of the Canadian health care system. Following the pandemic, Canada, much like the U.S., is facing a shortage of primary care providers and lengthy wait times for procedures. Philpott, who is now Dean of Health Sciences at Queen’s University, is looking to post-secondary education to drive innovation in health care reform. In this Q&A, we’ll discuss ways to improve health outcomes through primary care teams, improved access to health data, and government accountability.
