Bill 298: Women's Health Strategy Act

The businesses most directly affected are healthcare providers, clinics, imaging centres, and hospitals operating in Nova Scotia — particularly those offering gynaecology, breast imaging, and specialist care. Radiologists, mammography technologists, gynaecologists, and surgeons will face new recruitment, training, and retention obligations tied to competitive wage standards. Dalhousie University and other medical training programs are specifically named as targets for expanded training seat capacity. Private and public healthcare facilities will need to align with new referral timelines, reporting requirements, and clinical pathway standards, meaning significant operational changes for anyone involved in women's diagnostic or specialist services.
