It's an uncomfortable truth: Canada is not immune from racism, nor is our healthcare system. If you have to interact with the healthcare system, will you get the care you need? Will you get the care you deserve regardless of your age, your race, your gender or the language you speak? Will your elderly parents get the care they need and deserve? Family physician and preventive medicine specialist Dr. Onye Nnorum breaks down systemic racism in medicine and how it can impact all of us. She also discusses solutions to improve the system so that we can all feel safe and heard by our healthcare practitioners.
