COVID- 19 has significantly altered the delivery of healthcare services in our country. While significant attention has been given to the primary healthcare services, covered under the universal healthcare program, not enough attention has been shown towards those services which are traditionally delivered privately like optometry and dentistry. These healthcare services uniquely intersect the private, public, provincial and federal regimes and raise unique questions. For instance, How has our decentralized federal system affected the delivery of these healthcare services during the pandemic? How have the healthcare workers and patients been affected? Has the pandemic made any permanent changes to the delivery of these services? Join us as we explore these questions.
