Canadian Health Care in jeopardy?
Saturday, March 20th, 2010
Canada, in theory, a functional system of health care, health care and universal free for all, with public funds. However, in reality, there are factors limiting the longevity of universal health care that are beyond our control. radical change has begun. Fifty-two percent of physicians under age 35 are women. And most students in almost all Canadians, 17 medical schools are women. In some, the number is huge – 66 percent of the University of Montreal, and 70 percent of Laval University in Quebec. In 2015, women constitute 40 percent of all physicians. Peter Coyte, professor of health economics at the University of Toronto, predicts that this influx of women contributing to a crisis in health care. “It will have a profound impact on the gap between supply and demand,” he warns. “It will get worse before it gets better.” It has been repeatedly proven – women doctors’ will not work the same hours or life of contributions to health care than men, says Dr. Brian Day, president of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA). Human family are at least partly to blame. Matchday own wife and sister-both trained physicians have not been performed since the children were 10 years ago. Despite their demanding careers, women continue to be ” given the higher proportion of child care, cleaning and care of seniors, “says Dr. Janet Dollin, president of the Federation of Medical Women of Canada. But that pressure has a price. Burnout – the exhaustion of the workplace for women are particularly vulnerable – drives many women out of medicine completely. Today, five million Canadians have no family doctor. A 2005 survey found that only 23 per cent of Canadians were able to see a doctor the same day that the need for – placing it among the six countries studied, including the United States, Britain and Australia. Canadian doctor patient ratio is one of the worst of any industrialized nation: with just 2. 2 doctors per thousand population, ranks 24 of the 28 OECD countries (well below the average of three). And among the G8 countries, Canada ranks last in providing médicos.Esto worse. The aging population – one in four Canadians will be 65 years or older in 2056, compared to 13 percent today – will be enormous pressure on the system of health care, and there is little to remedy the shortage of doctors exists. The CMA estimates that 26,000 doctors need more right now for Canada to the OECD average. Medical schools do not graduate enough students to support demand, and estimated that 1500 Day Canadian studying medicine in other countries. Already, one in nine doctors who graduated in 2006 practices in the United States, forced to choose between work and home, women physicians are more likely to opt for the latter – leaving a clan ” orphan patients “behind. That the flooding emergency rooms for care. Or ignore all the problems until they can not. It was determined that those without family physician can expect to be more patient – and the system cost of healthcare more money – than those with a specialist. A report of fame, first published in 1994 in The Lancet, analyzed how the relationship between family doctors and patients affects individual health and the costs of healthcare in a country. He concluded that the results of normal family care in a population of less than drugs, more satisfied. “There will come a time when our health system has hit the wall,” Baker said. “And we’re not far from that.” There is evidence that the doctor-patient improves with female doctors. They tend to be better communicators, according to a report from Montreal, and create links solid with their patients, which in turn leads to greater overall patient satisfaction. “The women listen differently,” confirms Dollin. “They are trying to treat patients as partners.” And this leads to a more complex health. Physicians take a holistic approach, an approach based on prevention, the study continues. The conversation between a doctor and his patient wife, Dollin said, is “a more focused with emotion.” The health planners Canada can not ignore the fact that the doctor shortage is getting worse. The country will soon have an older population than ever – and a woman dominated by employees of physicians willing to work long hours than their predecessors . Day, also warns that doctors can get more Canadians to the United States if the presidential candidates to keep their promise to provide physicians today, 47 million Americans uninsured. Between 1993 and 2004, 4,000 Canadian doctors have moved south. What do you think that Spain should do to put some pressure on the instability of the health system?
