It is clear that Black communities in Canada will benefit the most from the collection of race-based health data. So the question that remains is why is there such resistance to something that will help us address our disproportionately high death rates thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Why Ontario needs to collect race-based health data

Without the collection, utilization and proper governance of race-based data, our disproportionate pain and deaths go unacknowledged, unaddressed and invisible.

However, more resources are needed for Punjabi and other South Asian seniors and caregivers in Canada to support with aging in place and access to culturally-relevant care options
