A Nova Scotia woman is organizing a rally to call on the provincial government to improve the health-care system in response to the recent deaths of two women, who passed away after extensive wait times at local emergency departments.

Jennifer MacDonald, a resident of Sydney on Cape Breton Island, said she is organizing the rally out of fear that the tragedy that befell the two deceased women, Charlene Snow and Allison Holthoff, could happen to more Nova Scotians.
