๐Canada experiences an unprecedented population growth, adding over a million people in 2023 following a historic intake in 2022. While some economists see this as beneficial for the economy, the rapid surge poses challenges, especially in the healthcare sector. The influx, including international students and temporary workers, has exacerbated an existing shortage of homegrown primary care doctors. Dr. Kathleen Ross, President of the Canadian Medical Association, highlights the struggle to meet the country's health needs. Data from the OurCare initiative indicates a spike in Canadians without regular access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner, rising from 4.5 million in 2019 to an estimated 6.5 million in 2023.โ . ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐ & ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐! ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ก ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ซ +๐ (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ.๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ค๐ค๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ง@๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐.๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐.๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐, ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ @mukkadan.joseph . . #CanadaPopulationBoom #HealthcareChallenges #FamilyDoctorsShortage #PopulationGrowth #HealthcareStrain #CanadianMedicalAssociation #ImmigrationImpact #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
