A Canadian study reveals 13% of patients with family doctors live over 30 km away, reducing care access and increasing ER visits.
A new Ontario study finds that 13% of patients with a family doctor live more than 30 kilometers away, a distance linked to lower primary care access, higher emergency room use for nonurgent issues, and fewer preventive cancer screenings.
The research, based on nearly 10 million people, shows those over 150 km from their doctor face even greater barriers, especially men, younger adults, low-income residents, and recent newcomers.
Experts say geographic distance undermines care quality and urge policies ensuring primary care within 30 km of every home.
