The CMA leads a national movement with physicians who believe in a better future of health.
@cmadocs.bsky.socialThe World Medical Association (@medwma.bsky.social) has adopted a new global policy to combat false health information, led by the CMA and France’s Conseil National de l’Ordre des Médecins (CNOM).

@cmadocs.bsky.socialFalse health information can lead people to delay necessary care, reject proven treatments and adopt harmful practices. Protecting patients requires a coordinated response.
@cmadocs.bsky.socialCo-hosted by the @bma.org.uk and the @ama-assn.org, the 2026 International Conference on Physician Health brought together over 650 physician leaders and health advocates from around the world in support of the same goal: to build better wellness for those who provide care.

@cmadocs.bsky.socialWe're asking for the federal government to protect people from climate disasters before they happen, particularly those who are most harmed: Indigenous and racialized communities, older adults, children, and people living with disabilities, who rent or are unhoused.
@cmadocs.bsky.socialIn an open letter to @mark-carney.bsky.social, the CMA joins health professionals across the country in asking for immediate action, including anchoring government policy and practice in the awareness that healthy people require a healthy planet, and a commitment to environmental justice.

@cmadocs.bsky.socialAs the federal budget takes shape, the CMA is encouraging Canadians to consider health care not only as an expense, but as an investment in the strength of families, workplaces and communities. Investing in health is investing in Canada's future.
@cmadocs.bsky.socialToday, the Canadian Medical Association launched “Healthy Economy” – a national public campaign inviting Canadians to add their voices in support of making health care a priority in the next federal budget.
@cmadocs.bsky.socialToday we acknowledge the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls & Gender Diverse People. This crisis is rooted in generational harm to Indigenous health and safety. We acknowledge the work still ahead, and we do not forget the past. #MMIWG2S+

@cmadocs.bsky.socialBy working together with respect and humility, we can build a better health system for the future, one that honours Indigenous Peoples, supports healing and advances #reconciliation.
Our statement:
@cmadocs.bsky.socialRacism and discrimination have no place in health care, yet they persist. As part of our work to create more equitable health for Indigenous Peoples, the CMA recently updated its Code of Ethics and Professionalism, reinforcing expectations related to culturally safe care.
@cmadocs.bsky.socialOn National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge the devastating and lasting impacts of Canada’s residential school system on First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples, and honour the strength and spirit of Survivors, their families and their communities. #NDTR
