For those who expect near-shoring to increase, higher transportation cost was by far the most common reason cited (61 percent).

One new way that scientists are starting to understand the science of Alzheimer’s includes brain plaques. These are the clumps and strands of protein that form when the brain cells die.

The Quebec Order of Pharmacists is asking for the provincial government to introduce a new legislation which would give pharmacists the power to make changes to a patient’s prescriptions instead of sending them back to the doctor.

Approximately two million people in Quebec do not have a family physician, thus are finding it very difficult to not only be prescribed with medication, but receive a proper diagnosis as well.
