| | We have argued that the provision of healthcare must be viewed from a population health perspective and that user fees, increased privatization of services, the de-listing of treatments and the under-development of others, are not conducive to population health. | | | It is our belief that the decline in federal support for healthcare over the past 10 to 15 years has put at risk the fiscal sustainability of the healthcare system in Nova Scotia and that this is a primary reason why equitable access to medical treatment may be in jeopardy. | | | Not only do women have particular concerns related to their own health, but we also have a specific relationship to healthcare because of the unpaid caregiving work women do in families and the voluntary sector and the paid caregiving work women perform within the healthcare system itself. |
