A recent report highlights concerns over access to primary care in Alberta, Canada. The province is facing a shortage of family doctors, with many practices closing or struggling to stay open due to poor working conditions and compensation issues. This has left patients like Rob Graham, who had to switch clinics after his doctor retired, without a regular physician. While the health minister's office emphasizes the government's commitment to improving primary care, concerns persist over the impact on patient outcomes.
