Our health-care system, like many across our country, is in crisis. People are seeing long waits for tests and surgeries, hospitals are experiencing unexpected closures, emergency rooms are supporting community health in ways they were not intended to, and staff shortages and burnout are more common. These challenges are not new, but were worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. The NB Health Plan was developed as a roadmap for the steps we need to take to stabilize and evolve the health-care system for the future of our province.
