Canada faces a family physician shortage, with a 3% drop per capita, as patient needs grow more complex.
The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported a decline in family physicians for the first time since the 1990s, coinciding with rapid population growth and an increase in elderly, chronically ill patients.
This led to a 3% drop in family physicians per capita, with the average doctor seeing fewer patients due to more complex medical needs.
Over 6.5 million Canadians lack regular primary care access, highlighting the urgent need for solutions.
Despite this, the number of other primary care providers like pharmacists and nurse practitioners has increased.
