Building a Stronger Healthcare System
Our government is moving swiftly with our Healthcare Action Plan. We are making it a priority to address areas that need improvement in our healthcare system, so Albertans can get healthcare, when and where they need it. We are investing an additional $1.8B over three years to build capacity.
Ensuring Access to Primary Care
Expanding seats for family physicians in our medical schools including the University of Calgary
Making it easier for international doctors to work in Alberta
Providing patients with easier access to nurse practitioners and other allied health professions
Lowering Emergency Wait Times
Increasing access to doctors on 811 to reduce number of people going to emergency
Building more continuing care spaces so people can be moved out of hospital faster
Adding resources in hospitals so people can be treated faster without being admitted
Faster EMS Response Times
Establishing non-urgent medical transport for patients to go home when clinically safe
Using non-ambulance service providers to move patients between health facilities
Supporting paramedics with direct doctor access so they can better treat patients on site
