COVID system impacts and where do we go from here…how COVID has impacted Alberta’s health care system

In this second episode of Alberta, This is Going to Hurt we’ll discuss the downstream impact of COVID on the health of Albertans. From delays in diagnosis and lapsed monitoring of chronic conditions, to people avoiding emergency rooms for serious events, we know there will be long-term consequences with staggering human and financial costs. We also speak with Dr. Richard Rabeeh, a pediatric psychiatrist, about the impact COVID has had on the mental health of children and adolescents.
