Nova Scotia's Action for Health website now provides updated healthcare data, showing positive trends in surgical wait list reductions, staff vacancy rates and long-term care admissions. Health and Wellness Minister Michelle Thompson emphasized the government's commitment to healthcare improvement and transparency. The website, updated quarterly, reflects progress on the Action for Health strategy, including the upcoming second medical school campus and financial support for cancer patients' wigs. Additionally, new MRI machines and a medical imaging partnership aim to improve patient access and reduce wait times.
