Most Canadians are complaining about not able to have family doctors or if they have one, it will take longer period to book an appointment because doctors are loaded and fully booked. It will take a week, two weeks or at least a month to have an appointment with a GP. That's how in demand doctors are in Canada.
Why? The population of Canada is in millions (40.77 MILLIONS) and yet the population of doctors are "only few."
Only few good men and only few good women?
Maybe the ratio is 1 doctor per 1,000 patients in certain demographic area. Wow! That's Wow!! That's unbelievable. No wonder... they cannot recognize their patients. lol
Unlike in Philippines where neighbors are doctors and they have private clinics in their own homes. The ratio is 1 doctor per 25 - 50 patients. Not that bad, really!
Why Canada has limited population of doctors despite of its great demand?
And to think that "those doctors" were actually foreign doctors or from other countries such as South Africa, Iran, Australia, India, US, etc.
The Government of Canada should at least hire doctors from Philippines or other Asian countries to make sure that Canadians, Permanent Residents and immigrants have immediate access to Health Care.
Why The RED TAPE? Why not put into action now and stop the maniana habit.
THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAYBE YOUR OWN.
