At Canadian Doctors for Medicare, we believe that a high-quality, equitable, sustainable health system built on the best available evidence is the highest expression of Canadians caring for one another. Our mission is to provide a voice for Canadian doctors who want to strengthen and improve Canada's universal publicly-funded health care system. We advocate for innovations in treatment and prevention services that are evidence-based and improve access, quality, equity and sustainability.
