These two areas of focus remind us of the role that healthcare service workers play to support and act on such ground-breaking research. Especially in these recent times while we\u2019re experiencing the impact of COVID-19 in all areas of the country, their work has never been more recognized or top of mind to help not only children, but all Canadians.<\/p>\n
This year, World Health Day is guided by a new campaign to \u201cbuild a fairer, healthier world\u201d*. We\u2019re on board with this mission, as CCHF believes in delivering the right care in the right place at the right time. Excellent paediatric care should be the experience of every Canadian youth and child at every point in the continuum of care. Canada\u2019s children\u2019s hospitals are working on improving access to healthcare and health information in every corner of every province.<\/p>\n
Improving children\u2019s health can\u2019t be accomplished without adequate research. DNA Day, which was founded by the US NIH National Human Genome Research Institute after the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003 (as well as the initial discovery of DNA\u2019s double helix in 1953), is shining an important light on the accomplishments made through research. When it comes to kids, Canada\u2019s children\u2019s hospitals are at the forefront of every major medical advancement affecting the health of Canada\u2019s kids. Research has propelled significant advances in technology and genetics that have lead to treatments that are less invasive, less harmful to growing bodies and more effective.<\/p>\n
Thanks to your support, we\u2019re helping hospitals change the outcome for sick children.<\/p>\n
