AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Virtual Care Mental Health Shift: New data from Your Doctors Online shows mental health is now the top reason Canadians use virtual care, with anxiety and depression driving thousands of consultations—especially among women and ages 18–34. Weight-Loss Drug Access: Health Canada has approved Apotex’s first generic semaglutide injection for chronic weight management (SEVMIA), expanding lower-cost options for obesity and related cardiovascular risk. Hospital Staffing Pressure: Ontario Nurses’ Association says Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie cut 12 nursing positions, warning it will worsen unsafe staffing and patient care. Rare Disease Funding Fight: A North Vancouver family is appealing after B.C. denied funding for a Germany treatment for a child’s rare brain disorder, despite unsuccessful options in Canada. Public Health Alerts—Heat & Rabies: Greater Sudbury is preparing for extended heat warnings with cooling sites and extended beach lifeguarding, while Quebec continues a major raccoon rabies response with vaccination teams. Clinical Research—Brain Tumors: McMaster researchers report promising dual-target CAR-T work against aggressive glioblastoma by attacking both tumors and supportive immune cells. Policy/Systems Watch: The Auditor-General declined a request to audit PrescribeIT, citing a separate review planned for Canada Health Infoway, after the digital prescription program largely failed to gain use.
