Canada’s health-care system ‘on the ropes,’ warns N.S. premier amid ER deaths
Meanwhile, the health-care workers on the front-lines of this crisis are burning out, the doctors said.The fact that health-care is a provincial responsibility, Lafontaine added, means there’s a patchwork of health systems across Canada, each competing with one another to recruit the best employees.
Provinces and territories should work together, Lafontaine said, rather than competing against one another to attract health workers to their hospitals. “We did not know — because we did not have the data, we were not collecting or sharing it — just how dire the situation would be right now,” he said.“So now that we’re in this situation, what’s the solution? It’s collaboration across the country.”
People in acute care “languish for weeks and months,” he said, despite no longer requiring emergency treatment. That’s because there aren’t enough resources in the community to bridge that health-care gap.
