The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) issued a statement in which CMA President Dr. Laurent Marcoux called for the federal government to invest in seniors' care, guided by a pan-Canadian seniors' strategy with the goal of renewing of the entire health system and boosting the productivity of healthcare delivery nationwide. Marcoux also called for more support for the five million Canadian caregivers providing care to a senior family member or friend. By acting to develop a national seniors strategy now, the federal government will help Canadians be as productive as possible in their workplaces and in their communities," Marcoux said. "Implementing the CMA recommendations as an integrated package is essential to stitching together the elements of community-based and residential care for seniors," he added. In addition to making a meaningful contribution to meeting the future care needs of Canada's aging population the CMA recommendations will mitigate the impacts of economic pressures on individuals and jurisdictions across the country.
