Mazankowski report
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mazankowski Report, formally known as the Premier's Advisory Council on Health Report, was a report written on January 8, 2002 by Donald F. Mazankowski, the Minister of Health to Ralph Klein, then Premier of Alberta, Canada. Mazankowski wrote the report on the diagnosis of health care in the province. The report predated the eventual nationwide Romanow Report. The goals of this report were to "provide strategic advice to the Premier on the preservation and future enhancement of quality health services for Albertans."[1] The eventual outcome of the report led to assessing the sustainablity of the health system. It led to propositions of approaches, and strategies.
Researchers from the University of Alberta criticised the report by saying "a move towards a for-profit system isn't supported by the government's own data."[2].
Campaign organisation Keep Medicare Public claimed that the report is "grossly exaggerating the scope of Alberta's health spending 'crisis' and its recommendations for reform would undermine the foundations of Medicare"[3]
