About 2.5 million people in Ontario without a family doctor
The College of Family Physicians of Ontario announced Thursday that 2.5 million people in Ontario currently do not have a family doctor.
"It's really concerning," said a family doctor from Brampton. Because in this situation, people go to emergency rooms and walk-in clinics more often, which causes their treatments to remain incomplete, and they also do not perform preventive cancer screenings."
According to experts, having a dedicated family doctor is very important, especially when people have chronic and complex diseases.
According to the Canadian media, the College of Family Physicians of Ontario announced that family doctors have to spend 19 hours a week doing administrative work instead of seeing patients.
The college also released the results of a study that found 670,000 people in Ontario had to travel more than 50 kilometers to see their family doctor.
The data show that the absence of a family doctor near the patient's location causes the patient to find more need for hospital emergency, as a result, they are often not screened for cancer.
