Healthcare Now: Bridging the Equality Gap South of the Fraser

Compared to funding for Vancouver and surrounding areas, Surrey residents suffer from inadequate tools and infrastructure to take care of our most vulnerable. Resulting in frequent transfers to other hospitals for higher levels of care.

Surrey lacks the tools to treat the 3 leading causes of death, heart attack, stroke or trauma. Patients are enduring prolonged waiting times, inadequate treatment options, and compromised healthcare outcomes due to these shortages and delays.

A lack of a comprehensive plan by the provincial government to address these and other growing needs for the region is the quintessential crisis. This rally aims to highlight these grievances and encourage public discourse and governmental action.

Organised by Dr. Randeep Gill, an ER physician from Surrey Memorial Hospital, and a coalition of healthcare practitioners and community members. This demonstration will be held on September 9th at 2pm at the Surrey City Hall Civic Plaza. Dr. Gill and his coalition intend to shed light on the dire state of medical services and the urgent need for immediate action to address the crisis.

The organisers of the rally call upon local and regional authorities to collaborate with medical professionals, community leaders, and stakeholders to develop and implement comprehensive solutions to address this medical care shortage crisis.

Let this be a step towards a much needed change!
