This highly influential media platform has made the decision to launch “The Healthcare Excellence Awards,” another honorable award, globally, in 2023. For many years to come, this will be the new dawn for honoring medical experts from all over the world. The United States, Kuwait, Oman, and a few other nations have already given out these honors.
Ontario Heroes Health & Social Services
The Ontario Heroes Health and Social Services (OHHSS) is a nonprofit organization with federal registration offering volunteer health, legal, and social services as well as professional mentoring, housing, and employment connections.

Additionally, the organization has a new community development effort in India that will be launched in a few months, with the mission of expanding its services at a global scale.
Jointly, these two organizations pioneering the media and social service sectors at both local and global scales led to the idea of this unique event, Healthcare Excellence Awards 2023 in Canada.
Invaluable Indian Contributions to the Healthcare System of Canada
By going above and above the call of duty during the Covid-19 outbreak, healthcare personnel—including Indian healthcare workers in Canada—made the biggest contribution to society. Therefore, to recognize and felicitate this, Asianet News and Ontario Heroes laid the benchmark of this award to honor such persons in the healthcare industry.
Please note that the publicly funded healthcare system in Canada has undergone revisions during the past 40 years in response to societal and medical advancements. The essentials, however, remain the same: Therefore, it is the need, not the ability to pay, that determines eligibility for universal coverage of essential medical services.
The majority of healthcare services in Canada are under administrative and provisional supervision of the provinces and territories, and all provincial and territorial health insurance plans must abide by the federal standards set forth in the Canada Health Act. The Canadian healthcare system has benefited greatly from the contributions of immigrants, notably healthcare professionals of Indian descent.
