Le financement des IRSC accélère la collaboration pancanadienne dans le but de préparer la chaîne d’approvisionnement du système de santé canadien aux pandémies Le gouvernement du Canada et les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC) ont accordé 1,38 million de dollars sur un an à la Dre Anne Snowdon pour qu’elle examine la chaîne d’approvisionnement des soins de santé du Canada afin de trouver des moyens d’améliorer les processus critiques pour la gestion de la COVI...D-19 et la planification en vue de futures pandémies. Afin d’obtenir des résultats optimaux en santé, les travailleurs de la santé et les patients canadiens ont besoin d’une chaîne d’approvisionnement sûre et sécuritaire de produits dans lesquels ils peuvent avoir confiance. La pandémie de COVID-19 a fait ressortir les importants défis que présente la chaîne d’approvisionnement dans l’ensemble du système de santé canadien, notamment le manque de matériel de protection disponible pour les travailleurs de la santé et la difficulté à répondre à la forte augmentation de la demande de produits comme l’équipement de protection individuelle (EPI) et les médicaments. https://www.scanhealth.ca//156-le-financement-des-irsc-acc

FROM PARILIAMENT TODAY!!!!!! Heres hoping it passes! "A Stronger and More Resilient Canada: Speech from the Throne to Open the Second Session of the Forty-Third Parliament of Canada" "These commitments build on federal investments to support people who are... most at risk and those who care for them, including with the federal wage top-up for personal support workers. People on the frontlines who have been looking after seniors do vital work and the Government will continue to have their backs. " Page 8 "The Government will look at further targeted measures for personal support workers, who do an essential service helping the most vulnerable in our communities. Canada must better value their work and their contributions to our society." Page 17 #psw #personalsupportworker #wageincrease #acrosscanada #cca #hca #pca
