The News Forum to Exclusively Air Ground-breaking Documentary 'Fixing Canada's Health Care: Lessons from Japan'
ST. CATHARINES, Ontario, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The News Forum, Canada's independent leading news network dedicated to balanced and diverse perspectives, is proud to announce the exclusive broadcast premiere of the new 22-minute documentary, 'Fixing Canada's Health Care: Lessons from Japan.' This eye-opening film will air nationwide on Sunday, August 10, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/MT – 8PM PT.
A central revelation of the film is the astonishment expressed by Japanese interviewees when informed that Canadians often endure year-long waits for common surgeries such as knee and hip operations. In stark contrast, patients in Japan can typically receive these procedures within a couple of weeks. The documentary explores two major systemic differences between the two countries that contribute to this disparity, offering valuable insights for the ongoing discussion about healthcare reform in Canada.
