While important efforts are underway to strengthen primary care across Canada, too many people in Canada still struggle to get basic health care. In 2024, 17% of Canadian adults and 11% of children and youth did not have access to a regular health care provider. This increases pressure on emergency departments and contributes to inequities in health outcomes across the country.

Cancer touches nearly every family in Canada. It is the leading cause of death in the country, and it is estimated to cost the health care system, patients, and families nearly $37.7 billion every year—from hospital care and medications to lost wages, reduced productivity, and out-of-pocket expenses. Yet up to 40% of cancer cases could be prevented through changes in lifestyle and environmental factors—a powerful reminder that prevention strategies, alongside early detection and research, can save lives and reduce the burden of cancer.

Avian influenza A(H5N1), commonly known as bird flu, is a viral disease that is typically transmitted between wild birds and poultry but can spread to other birds and mammals. Based on current evidence in Canada, the risk to the general public remains low at this time. Human infection with avian influenza is rare and usually occurs after close contact with infected birds or contaminated environments. To date, there has been no evidence of sustained person-to-person spread of the virus in any of the cases identified globally.
