The Canadian Arthritis Patient Alliance (CAPA) wrote a letter to the current Minister of Health Marjorie Michel regarding the importance of reintroducing federal legislation on health data interoperability, modeled on the former Bill C-72 (Connected Care for Canadians Act).

The letter highlights that providing Canadians with simple, secure, and digital access to their health information is crucial for improving patient outcomes, enhancing care coordination, and reducing administrative burdens across the health system. We urge your government to prioritize this issue and collaborate across parties to advance this important legislation. Please see the full letter below.
