BC opposition leader John Rustad has sharply criticized the Eby government for what he calls the province’s failing health care system. Rustad stated that British Columbia’s health care is now among the worst globally, with patients dying while waiting for treatment.
A recent report highlights that the provincial government is not fulfilling its promises. Dr. Charlene Lui, president of the BC Physicians Association and a Burnaby family doctor, revealed that 700,000 residents in British Columbia currently lack a family doctor.
Dr. Lui described the situation as alarming, emphasizing the urgent need to revitalize the system. She also noted that many doctors are nearing retirement, with a significant number expected to leave the workforce in the next five to ten years.
