Ford Government Licenses New Private MRI, CT Clinics

The Ford government is inviting new private health clinics to apply for licenses to provide publicly funded MRI and CT scans to reduce wait times. The Ministry of Health aims to add 100,000 more scans annually with new clinics, which will be integrated into the public system. Applications close on August 12, 2024, with successful bidders announced in fall 2024. Critics argue this move promotes health care privatization.
