The Politics of Health

As the newest member of the Open Medicine blog team, you can expect posts from me that focus on the intersection of health and elected politics. If I had started posting some months ago, you might have seen stories on the 2014 health accord, the health scandals in Alberta/defection of Raj Sherman and the recent ICES report on primary health care reform in Ontario. While I can't always promise to strike an impartial tone, you can look forward to posts that seek clarity in often messy situations.

When not blogging for Open Medicine or Tweeting via @DanyaalRaza, you can find me in the midst of a Family Medicine Global Health & Vulnerable Populations Fellowship at the University of Toronto. My first set of posts will focus on this area - specifically, proposed reform to refugee health care in Canada.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on each post, and the opportunity to respond to each of your posted comments.

Happy reading,

DR
