The Alberta Government has made several changes in relation to how Albertans can continue to access healthcare at this time, COVID-19 related or otherwise. 

Doctors, members of AHS and the AB Government have recognized that people will continue to get sick and have on-going conditions that must also be addressed. 

The introduction of new measures includes a new app that people can download to directly speak with doctors across the province.

The app is the result of a partnership between the AB Gov. and Telus Communications. Babylon Health will connect people via the internet to real doctors who can help to address concerns Albertans face for their health, related to the virus or otherwise.

As well, changes have been made to give greater access to diagnostics for COVID-19, by allowing pharmacists to help diagnose the virus.  

Additionally, new guidelines have been put in place that restricts patients to filling a one-month value of their prescriptions, to help curve the drop in global availability of medicines.
