Synopsis :

An analysis of Saskatchewan's COVID-19 response that will inspire future reform.

This gripping account of the COVID-19 experience in Saskatchewan goes beyond pandemic memoir to draw lessons we can use to create a healthier future. Filled with moving stories of how COVID changed people's lives, Ryan Meili's deeply humane account of the pandemic draws on his unique experience as a doctor and as the leader of Saskatchewan's official opposition during the first two years of the outbreak. A Healthy Future reveals how the pandemic exposed and made worse problems in health-care, elder care, education, and social support--and details how we can do better.

Written with passion and commitment, this book offers a firsthand look at how the pandemic laid bare the shortcomings of Saskatchewan's--and Canada's--public health response, with tragic results. It also provides an inspiring vision of what Canadians can learn from the pandemic to create a healthier and more equitable future.
