Canada and Brazil do not have the same laws, and neither do Kenya and South Korea. Just because healthcare is free in Canada does not mean it will be free in every other country in the world. If you have the privilege to go to school where you live, there will always be other kids who don’t have the privilege to have an education.

So, healthcare organizations and with their management team and leaders are having a quite tough time.
