Salgirah Mubarak

Dear Fellow Ismaili Healthcare Providers,

Salgirah Mubarak! As we celebrate our beloved Mawlana Hazar Imam’s 85th birthday, it offers an opportunity to reflect, offer our humble Shukrana, and celebrate the incredible efforts and selfless work ethic so many of us have demonstrated over the last 18+ months. As we continue to navigate our response to intensifying global pressures, the knowledge, talent, and generosity of the thousands of Ismaili Healthcare providers has become one of the lifelines for our Jamat here in Canada and also in support of the Global Jamat. Establishing robust global health partnerships, mental health supports for the Jamat, an inaugural International Ismaili Health Providers Conference, and enhancing access to care for the Jamat are just some examples of how we have come together to better support the Jamat.

We also know you and your families have been impacted and we would like to continue to provide support and programming to help meet your needs. To this end, we invite you to participate in a needs assessment survey which can be found in this newsletter. Responses from this survey will help inform the future direction of the Ismaili Health Providers portfolio.

Once again, the auspicious occasion of Salgirah, we offer a very warm Khushiali Mubarak to each one of you and your families. We pray for good health, safety, security and Mushkil Asaan for you and the for the Global Jamat.

With respect and admiration,

National Health Board for Canada

Supporting Our Ismaili Health Care Community

The last 18+ months have led to unprecedented, competing demands on healthcare providers across the country. Ismaili healthcare providers across all disciplines have risen to the challenge in serving not only the Jamat, but the wider community as well. At the onset of the pandemic, we reached out to healthcare providers in the Jamat to assess how best the Aga Khan Health Board for Canada could work to support each of you.

We have identified some ways to support this community, but we would love to hear from you once again to learn more! By completing this brief survey, you can offer insights into how we can align programming, services, and opportunities with your needs as we continue to forge ahead.

The survey should take 5 - 10 minutes of your time. Please click HERE to complete the survey!
