How healthcare is funded in Canada

Описание: Ontario is facing a doctor shortage leaving many residents struggling to access the health care they need, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With 15 per cent of Ontarians living without a primary care physician, Globe and Mail health reporter Carly Weeks joins our host Nam Kiwanuka to shed light on the problem and provide valuable insights into this health care crisis. During this live conversation, they tackle the most pressing questions for Ontarians in search of a family doctor or primary health care provider in our doctor desert.

Why is it so difficult to find a family doctor? What steps can you take to secure a doctor instead of relying on local walk-in clinics? What is the root cause of this shortage and how can we improve the situation? Discover the answers to these and other vital questions in TVO’s The Thread Live conversation on the Ontario Doctor Shortage.
