Doctors are again expressing concern that the number of patients in Alberta's hospitals is increasing, which is seriously affecting hospital operations and bed availability. As the number of patients increases, the lack of adequate health workers poses a challenge to the health system. Doctors also say that this is putting pressure on the existing staff. The Alberta Medical Association (AMA) called on the government to take immediate action to prevent the situation from worsening.
Lack of beds according to the number of patients in hospitals is a big problem. The capacity of the hospitals and the need to admit more patients is also a challenge. The AMA also advocates the need to employ more doctors, nurses and other health workers in health systems.
