This year has been challenging for all Ontarians, with the unprecedented health-care crisis and economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to this global pandemic, the Ontario Medical Association has championed the needs and voices of OMA members, both at decision-making tables and in the communities and hospitals in which they work.
The recommendations focus on fixing the health-care system, and acknowledge the importance of addressing equity, access and climate change challenges.
The 2022 OMA elections continue the OMA’s transformation journey through the election of skilled leaders who continue to modernize and enhance our organization, driving the OMA to be a world-class medical association. All members are encouraged to run for the board, president-elect and constituency group leader positions.
Now that the OMA’s health-care recommendations have been launched, efforts will be accelerated to secure widespread political support by working with members to pitch and promote the platform to the public, stakeholders, community leaders, current MPPs, candidates and political parties.
