Public health care workers and advocates to tell health ministers: stop privatization, pharmacare now!

Public health care workers and advocates will gather outside the meeting of federal, provincial and territorial health ministers at the Rodd Charlottetown on October 12 at 10:00 AM.

Speakers will also urge the ministers to support a public universal pharmacare program, as promised by the Prime Minister.
