OUR current healthcare system is consistently progressing with better skilled health professionals alongside advancements in medical products and technologies.

A report from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) indicates a shortage of physicians in both primary and speciality care. The number of healthcare workers needs to increase dramatically to meet the demand in coming years.
