Standing Up for #ScienceMatters

Doctors Manitoba is standing with the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) and our colleagues at other provincial and territorial medical associations on a new effort to ensure our communities are not harmed by health misinformation. Wrong information about medicine, health care and science is increasingly shaping public discourse, public beliefs, and policy actions. Together, we can make the Canadian information environment more resilient and protect the health of Canadians. Together, let’s speak up and say unwaveringly that #sciencematters.
