What Do The Numbers Tell Us About Medically Assisted Death in Canada? | The Agenda

What Do The Numbers Tell Us About Medically Assisted Death in Canada? | The Agenda Health Canada's 5th annual report on medical assistance in dying was released in December, reflecting numbers and demographics from 2023. For the first time, race and Indigenous identity, and disability were measured. For a discussion on who is requesting and receiving MAID, and for what illnesses, we welcome James Downar, Clinical Research Chair in Palliative and End of Life Care, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa; Rebecca Vachon, Program Director of Health at Cardus Canada; zSonu Gaind, a psychiatrist and professor at University of Toronto; and Sandy Buchman, a palliative care doctor working out of North York General Hospital.
