Over 37% of Canadians seek online medical advice due to a physician shortage, affecting health outcomes.
A recent poll by the Canadian Medical Association and Abacus Data found that over 37% of Canadians have sought online medical advice due to limited access to a doctor, highlighting a significant physician shortage.
The survey of 3,727 adult Canadians also showed that 23% experienced negative health impacts from following online advice.
The shortage is attributed to factors like retiring family doctors and fewer new doctors choosing family medicine.
The CMA suggests a more integrated healthcare system involving pharmacists, nurses, doctors, and social workers to address the issue.
