. NEWSFLASH .

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ U.S. Doctors and Nurses Moving to Canada
Thousands of U.S. healthcare workers are seeking jobs in Canada, with provinces like B.C. seeing a surge in applications. The shift is being driven by policy changes, funding cuts, and growing demand across Canada.

A Toronto physician has had their licence revoked after issuing over 1,400 improper COVID-19 exemption letters. Regulators say the conduct exposed patients to harm and was driven by financial gain.

๐Ÿ’Š Cheaper Weight-Loss Drugs Hit Canada Soon
Generic versions of popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy could arrive in Canada as early as this summer. Lower-cost alternatives may improve access, but could also drive a surge in demand.

๐Ÿฅ Canadaโ€™s Doctor Shortage Still Growing
Nearly 6 million Canadians still lack access to a family doctor, with experts pointing to training limits and licensing barriers as key issues. Other countries are outperforming Canada in both access and efficiency.
