CMA advocacy may influence Manitoba's health system funding and policy decisions The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is currently meeting with health officials and partners in Winnipeg, advocating for solutions to Canada’s health-care challenges. As the national voice of the medical profession, the CMA focuses on ensuring strong and accessible health systems across the country.

This advocacy could lead to changes in Manitoba's health system operations or funding priorities.
