The NDP leader’s pledge comes as hospitals in rural B.C. face periods of emergency closures due primarily to staff shortage issues
NDP Leader David Eby is promising to offer a $75-million loan forgiveness program to entice doctors, nurses and heath professionals to expand health-care services in rural British Columbia .
“We need to win the competition for doctors and nurses, both nationally and internationally,” he said. “The goal here is to make sure that when people are looking for a place to practice, they think about smaller centres in British Columbia, and they think about British Columbia and they prioritize working here,” he said.
Eby and B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad both campaigned in the Okanagan Saturday, with both leaders making morning announcements in Vernon.
