Government and the Nova Scotia Health Authority have announced plans to reshape and revitalize Cape Breton’s health system to better connect patients and their families to the care they need.

The province has changed its existing physician incentive programs to encourage more doctors to choose Nova Scotia.

Government is investing $39.6 million to pay family doctors more and create incentives to get more Nova Scotians off the Need a Family Practice list.

More Nova Scotians will have access to primary health care with the addition of 39 health professionals across the province.

Nova Scotia has created a new immigration stream to help attract more international doctors and specialists to the province.

A new program to assess internationally trained family doctors to work in Nova Scotia is moving forward.
