One of the ways in which these counties responded to the problem of labour shortage is through recruiting of foreign workers.
France has the best health care system. Patients are attended to 24/24 daily.
The GPs are always on call and the pharmacists have rotating night shifts to meet the required demands of emergencies
The increased demand on the primary health care system providers is legitimate.
What are the efforts made by policy makers to resolve the problem in Canada?
According to a study over 19,000 Canadian nurses reported having poor physical and emotional health,(Statistics Canada, 2006).
The overload of these nurses, long work hours, etc contributed to their poor health to some extend some resigned.
The problem will not be resolved by pharmacist’s aid in managing work load.
In Quebec, 2,000,000 people have no family doctor. The shortage of family doctors is a problem for our society.
The inclusion of immigrant physicians in Canada should be able to resolve the problem in time and space.
For example Quebec refusing to accept the credentials of competent of recognized professional degrees from even developed countries to fill the shortage of physicians in hospitals, and even the shortage of family doctors to ensure that majority should receive the health care they need.
According to the Quebec college advisory board the reason is public protection.
Is it not even more dangerous to live with the shortage of workers in fields such as health?
The college of physicians should be less protectionist , more open and more tolerant in order to resolve the shortage confronting us today.
Almost 16% of Canadians living in urban areas have no family doctor.
If foreign physicians are employed it would be beneficial to Canadian by giving them access to more doctors rather than handing over the task to the Pharmacists.
Primary health care services are performed by some Pharmacists in communities, like those in need of “first aid”.
In the case of France it’s not their duty.
In the developing counties most Pharmacists attend to patients.
In order to improve growing health care needs it ‘s important to eliminate the obstacles for all foreign-trained health professionals this will reduce waiting times at clinics and hospitals .
What is important with the physicians they have physical contact with their patients evaluated by a nurse before they see the doctors in the hospital.
