Executive Summary
The new leader of the Canadian Medical Association, Victor Dirnfeld, has called for more funding from the government to boost an under-funded public healthcare system. Many Canadians travel to the US for healthcare, spending an estimated $1 billion on treatment there last year. Doctors are concerned that the lack of cash in the system means that they cannot book time for procedures such as catheterisation or surgery within a reasonable time frame, reports the British Medical Journal.
