In a resounding display of unity and concern for their community’s well-being, citizens from all walks of life will come together to stage a rally to overcome the alarming shortage of critical medical care resources for the South Fraser area. Compared to funding for Vancouver and surrounding areas, Surrey residents suffer from inadequate tools and infrastructure to take care of our most vulnerable.
Surrey lacks the tools to treat the 3 leading causes of death, heart attack, stroke or trauma. Patients are enduring prolonged waiting times, inadequate treatment options, and compromised healthcare outcomes due to these shortages and delays. This rally aims to highlight these grievances and encourage public discourse and governmental action.
Organized by Dr. Randeep Gill, an ER physician from Surrey Memorial Hospital, and a coalition of healthcare practitioners and community members. This demonstration will be held on September 9th at 2pm at the Surrey City Hall Civic Plaza. Dr. Gill and his coalition intend to shed light on the dire state of medical services and the urgent need for immediate action to address the crisis.
The organizers of the rally call upon local and regional authorities to collaborate with medical professionals, community leaders, and stakeholders to develop and implement comprehensive solutions to address this medical care shortage crisis. Let this be the first step towards a much needed change!
