MARKHAM, ON, Sept. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - The Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business and Export Promotion, will meet with representatives of SE Health in Markham, Canada's high-tech capital, to discuss the newly-announced CAN Health Network. Composed of Canada's leading health care organizations, industry and thought leadership, the network represents one of the largest health and industry partnerships in the country.
With support from the Government of Canada, the CAN Health Network will enable Canadian medtech companies to work directly with health care organizations to develop innovative technological solutions to address health care challenges and improve patient care.
