Congratulations to Toronto’s SickKids Hospital: the world’s best children’s hospital for the second year in a row.
Canada’s health care system is one of our greatest strengths. It’s a reflection of our values — powered by the incredible nurses, doctors, researchers, and staff who deliver world-class, life-saving care every day.

Canada has some of the highest rates of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the world. Why is that? #TemertyMed’s Laura Targownik shares what we know, and what we don’t, about the prevalence of IBD.
