1 in 5 Canadian adults lack access to primary care, with regional disparities, according to a study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The study found almost one-third of people in Quebec and Atlantic provinces without a primary care clinician, and even those with one faced challenges in timely care. Researchers recommend expanding access to a wider range of healthcare professionals as a potential solution.
