NLMA shares letter of support for Alberta Medical Association following recent announcement

Posted: February 17, 2024 3:15 pmThe province’s medical association has released a letter in support of the Alberta Medical Association’s calls to keep political interference out of medical decision-making.

Earlier this month, the government of Alberta announced plans to restrict access to gender-affirming treatments for pediatric Transgender, Two-Spirit and Gender Diverse youth. While Alberta maintains that the intention of the policies is to protect children from making decisions that may have irreversible impacts on their body, NLMA President Dr. Gerard Farrell writes the policies have unintended consequences, including putting the health and safety of these youth at risk.
