@Medtech_Canada is pleased to continue to partner with provincial life sciences associations across Canada - tonight that means attending the DNA of success industry celebration gala - @BioscienceMB thank you to @Roche for hosting!

Canada has a choice about the kinds of devices and medicines we provide to Canadians who need healthcare - procuring medical devices in a way that recognizes the need for better patient outcomes isn’t optional - c @BioscienceMB @Medtech_Canada

Thank you to Minister of Innovation & New Technology Mike Moroz & @MBLegislature MLA @obbykhan60 for taking the time to chat about the priorities of Canada’s medical technology sector c @Medtech_Canada

.@Medtech_Canada members @JNJMedTech @Roche @dexcom & @BDinCanada participating in @BioscienceMB hill day @MBLegislature

Thanks for the opportunity to participate as a panelist this afternoon @Bioalberta to discuss Implications of U.S. Trade and Economic Policies on Alberta’s Health and Health Innovation Sectors

Prophetic.

Are you a Grade 11 or Grade 12 student interested in government, leadership, & public service? 🗓 Application Deadline: Friday, March 6, 2026 Apply today: gov.mb.ca/legislature/re… Don’t miss this chance to be part of Manitoba’s history!

Canada's Medical device sector makes up about .5% of Canada's total gross domestic product - this is about the same as all service producing industries in Canada (think real estate, higher education, financial services etc...)

Pack room for @lifesciences_bc #accesstoinnovation

Canada is rich in natural resources - but domestic medical device manufacturing is worth about as much to the economy as 1/2 of the agriculture sector The Canadian medical devices manufacturing sector contributed $13.7 billion in gross value added (GVA) - in 2023👇

Good public policy deserves to be applauded. In December @MBGov announced an expansion of newborn screening to include screening for congenital cytomegalovirus. Screening for CMV is a process supported by @Medtech_Canada members - more can be done - but for today, kudos!

.@Medtech_Canada member @IntuitiveSurg and the value Robotic Assisted Surgical systems bring to improved patient care are profiled in this article that also highlights @SKGov investments in medical devices that support patient outcomes - kudos 👏👏 shorturl.at/IdtgE

Appreciation to the @EdmontonChamber, sponsored by @ABBlueCross, for hosting Ministers @Richard4Alberta, @AdrianaLaGrange, and me to speak about Alberta’s health care system. Health care is more than a public service. It is a competitive advantage for our province, and we are committed to building a system that supports long-term health and prosperity.

BREAKING: The CEO of IKEA has just been elected Prime Minister of Sweden. He should have his cabinet together by the end of the weekend.

#1 takeaway from @mbchambersofcom “State of Healthcare” breakfast - Medical technologies are a key component to improved patient care, physician recruitment and retention & making Manitoba a high-functioning health system - @IntuitiveSurg robot just one case study @Medtech_Canada

Great story! “Modernizing the way we work increases our capacity as health care professionals, it supports our teams, & helps us respond to patient needs faster.” - Dr. Caroline Geenen, Chief of Staff of @oakvelleyhealth on implementing innovations such as these. #valueofmedtech

We’re investing $2 million, matched by the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation, to plan an expanded inpatient tower and a new research centre. The Alberta Children’s Hospital expansion will add 40 acute care beds, 10 mental health beds, and a Centre for Research & Innovative Care. Once complete, the project will expand capacity and help keep Alberta at the forefront of medical research.

Albertans deserve to see, in plain language and real numbers, how their health system is actually performing. That’s why we are launching a new Health System Dashboard: an online tool that gives Albertans clear, up to date information on wait times, outcomes and access to care in their own communities. It will show where we are delivering results and where we need to do better, so there is real accountability and transparency. We are starting with surgical information, including comparisons across facilities provincewide. Step by step, Albertans will be able to see the full picture of how their health system is working for patients. Try it for yourself here: alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…
