LET'S TAKE ACTION
Join The
#MakeUsSafe
Movement
Our healthcare system is in crisis, and we need to act now to make it safe for everyone involved.
Healthcare workers are on the front lines, risking their lives every day to care for patients.
But they are facing burnout, systemic failures, and a lack of support from the very institutions they serve.
We cannot afford to stand by and watch as healthcare workers suffer, and patients' lives are put at risk. We need to demand change, and we need to do it now. We must change legislation that protects healthcare workers and makes the healthcare system safer and more reliable.
This is a call to arms. We must stand together and make our voices heard. We need to advocate for healthcare workers and demand that they receive the support and protection they deserve. We need to hold our elected officials accountable and demand legislative change that prioritises the safety of healthcare workers and patients.
We need to come together as a community and demand that our voices be heard. We need to make it clear that we will not tolerate a healthcare system that puts profit over people. We must demand a healthcare system that is safe, reliable, and compassionate.
The time for action is now. Let's stand together and fight for the healthcare system we all deserve.
