Globe and Mail: N.L. to cover licensing fees for Ukrainian doctors in province who fled Russian invasion
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey says his government is working to lower barriers for internationally trained doctors as it launches efforts to help newly arrived Ukrainian health-care professionals become licensed.
Furey spoke to reporters Monday after a meeting with several federal ministers and Atlantic Canadian premiers in St. John’s, N.L. The aim of the meeting was to discuss growth in the region, but reporter questions inevitably turned to the doctor shortages plaguing all four Atlantic Provinces.
