In 2022, Doctors of BC’s Council on Health Economics and Policy (CHEP) developed a policy statement addressing the recent and ongoing issues contributing to mounting surgical care challenges in BC. The statement recognizes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated existing issues.
CHEP sought feedback from Surgery and Anesthesiology specialists on the recommendations and commitments outlined in the draft statement to ensure they accurately reflected their concerns and the challenges they face.
Via a survey and comment board, members shared their thoughts and concerns on growing wait lists, surgical wait-times for BC patients, and burdens on surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and other health care providers.
