78% drop in Alberta doctors taking new patients in past 3 years, no women physicians available in Edmonton
Description
August 22, 2023
The lack of doctors in Alberta and across the country has been a point of discussion for some time, and now the Alberta Medical Association said there has been a 78-per cent drop in the number of family doctors accepting new patients since 2020 - and there are no female physicians taking on more patients in Edmonton. As Lisa MacGregor reports, it's a huge barrier for many accessing basic health care.
