Saskatchewan Medical Association President Dr. John Gjevre said the Saskatchewan Party government’s budget doesn’t do enough to transform primary care so that more people can access a family doctor. skpoli yxe
The Saskatchewan budget released Wednesday did not offer those changes.
Dr. Adam Ogieglo, a family doctor in Saskatoon, said he has heard some family doctors are considering leaving. Gjevre said he knows of a colleague who is winding down their practice because the budget doesn’t address “pain points.” The fee-for-service system sees family doctors go through multiple patients a day but they only get to spend limited time with them. Instead, many would rather spend more time with patients who often have complex needs.
