Canada’s Healthcare at a Crossroads: Privatization, Public Access, and the Future of Care

Our partner agencies at GHMC are constantly helping evolve the way we perceive global healthcare communications. Recently, Carol Levine, CEO of energiPR, our Canadian partner agency, drafted her opinion on the evolving state of the Canadian health system.

From her perspective, Canada’s healthcare system is at a crossroads, with increasing reliance on private services as public access faces significant challenges. Factors like an aging population and pandemic strains have pushed some Canadians to seek costly private care. This growing privatization raises concerns about a shift toward profit-driven healthcare. As private clinics expand, including potential U.S. corporate involvement, the debate intensifies. Canadians must now decide if they’re willing to embrace further privatization or protect the core values of the public system.
