A physician recruitment strategy that stems from an Atlantic premiers meeting earlier this year is seeing the four Atlantic provinces collaborate, rather than compete, on recruitment.
Nearly a year after Newfoundland and Labrador announced a request for proposals to review the province's fertility services, the government has awarded the contract, to a Halifax-based market research firm that opened a St. John's office in 2021.
Newfoundland and Labrador Health Minister Tom Osborne says the province is set to announce a new virtual-care plan for residents in the very near future, which would give anyone in the province access to a physician.
Dr. Heather Power says the province covering the cost of continuous glucose monitors will greatly benefit diabetes care and the lives of youth with diabetes in Newfoundland and Labrador.
