A newly settled permanent resident in Nova Scotia says a recent experience he had in a Halifax ER is proof the overburdened healthcare system is straining its workers to the breaking point.
The president of Doctors Nova Scotia hopes changes to emergency care will lead to significant improvements in the province’s emergency departments, but says it s also important to continue focusing on bolstering primary care.
Residents of a rural part of the Halifax municipality are concerned after learning the emergency department at their hospital would be closed for all of January.
