The pandemic was a wake-up call. From overwhelmed hospitals to shortages of critical medical supplies, the crisis highlighted our health-care system’s urgent need for transformative change. But amid the chaos and challenges, it also sparked innovations born out of necessity.

Health-care providers, businesses and technology experts quickly rallied to find solutions to combat the pandemic's impact. Telemedicine became widespread. Digital health tools and data helped health-care professionals make timely decisions. Collaboration led to the rapid development of vaccines and treatments.

In a post-pandemic era, Canada must build upon those lessons. Where does our health-care system go from here?

Join The Logic on Weds., Oct. 18 at 12 p.m. ET for a conversation on how Canada’s health-care system is innovating. We will be joined by Brett Belchetz, co-founder and CEO of Maple; Brenda Irwin, managing partner of Relentless Pursuit Ventures: and Kamran Khan, CEO at BlueDot. Hosted by The Logic’s Ottawa-based reporter David Reevely, with opening remarks from Najah Sampson, president of Pfizer Canada, this event will focus on how the Canadian health-care sector can harness the momentum of innovation, private-public collaboration, tech progress and the AI boom to transform our health-care system.
