Waiting has to stop

Let's work together to fix the health-care system

Ontario’s doctors are advocating for a system that puts patients first — connecting every Ontarian with a family doctor, reducing emergency and specialist wait times, strengthening care in rural and northern Ontario, and modernizing OHIP.

 

Add your voice for better health care

Connect every patient to a family doctor

Everyone should have access to a family doctor. Ontario made progress in connecting more patients to doctors through the Primary Care Action Plan, but there’s still more to do.

Improve access and reduce delays to specialist care

Ontarians are waiting too long for specialist care, tests and surgeries. Delays can affect health, treatment and peace of mind.

Ensure timely access to emergency care

EDs in Ontario continue to be overcrowded. When people cannot move smoothly from the ED to a hospital bed, long-term care, home care or community support, the whole system backs up — and patients wait longer for the care they need.

Strengthen health care in rural and northern Ontario

A patient’s postal code shouldn’t determine the care they receive. But in many rural and northern Ontario communities, doctor shortages, long travel times and gaps in services affect more than health — they also have an economic impact.

Work together to fix OHIP

Ontario’s doctors want every dollar spent on health care to go toward helping patients and will not tolerate fraud. But OHIP’s outdated system currently flags too many routine claims for manual review, stalling funding for patient care and wasting time doctors would be spending with patients.
