Canada's health care system in crisis: Survey results out

 

 

Canada's public health system is facing a serious crisis, according to the latest national survey results. 63 percent of the country's people believe that the health care system in their provinces is in a critical state. The survey was conducted by Abacus Data and Research Co. The survey shows that the shortage of doctors and nurses and long wait times in hospitals are the biggest concerns for people. About 55 percent of people said that medical facilities have worsened in the past five years.

Due to this waiting time in the medical field, millions of patients are suffering for hours in emergency departments. According to a report released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, one in ten people who visit emergency departments have to wait more than two days to receive further treatment. Due to the increase in patients and staff shortages, about 1.2 million people have returned without completing their examinations in a year. Bureaucracy and administrative shortcomings are the main reasons for the current collapse, with 12 percent pointing out.

Despite widespread dissatisfaction with the system, Canadians still have faith in the publicly funded healthcare model. 85 percent of respondents said that the country's fundamental principle is free healthcare that prioritizes individual needs over financial means. Most people are concerned that the entry of the private sector will increase the cost of treatment and make services inaccessible to ordinary people. People are calling for the current system to be reorganized and improved.
