\u0022Obviously it can’t continue like this for much longer,” clinic office manager Sarah Dovell said of the doctor shortage.
But she’s also turning many away. Dovell said a shortage of local doctors has left Warman understaffed and underserved.
But in 2015, Warman, located about 20 kilometers north of Saskatoon, was reclassified as a “bedroom” community. Working there no longer counts towards return of service requirements. “Quite simply, this has reached a crisis level. … Our residents of Warman are forced to travel out of our city to crowded clinics and hospitals everywhere.”“ only has one physician,” Dovell said. “So if that physician is away for a medical or personal reason — which he is, at the moment — we close. It’s not like we’re closing our doors forever, but obviously it can’t continue like this for much longer.
Speaking at the SUMA conference, Minister of Rural and Remote Health Everett Hindley said the provincial government is “taking a look” at ways to get more doctors into communities like Warman.
