Just thrilled that @ucalgarynursing will receive 96 new seats over the next 3 years! Many of these will be in our rural/remote “grow your own” nursing pathway.
Last year, we invested $171M to create 10K new spaces in #abpse. Today, we are investing another $193M to create over 7K more spaces. This is the largest targeted expansion of seats in AB history, ensuring young Albertans get into the programs they want, right here at home #ableg

In 2021, 86 @WHO Member States were unable to vaccinate 40% of their populations. 85% of Africa is yet to receive a single dose. "How can this be acceptable? We simply cannot end the emergency phase of the pandemic unless we bridge this gap." -@DrTedros at #EB150 on 24 Jan.
