‘This is a crisis’: COVID-19 pandemic compounds health-care worker shortages in Canada’s North
Stanton Territorial Hospital in Yellowknife, N.W.T., is shown on Tuesday, August 23, 2022. As hospitals and other health-care facilities across Canada begin to grapple with worker shortages, the North is facing longstanding challenges recruiting and retaining staff. The Northwest Territories and Nunavut are no strangers to staffing gaps and service disruptions where many communities have limited health-care resources and are often reliant on locum staff from southern Canada. Added pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic and a shrinking national workforce has only exacerbated the issue. Dr. Courtney Howard is a long-time emergency physician in Yellowknife who worked her last shift at Stanton Territorial Hospital in July before pursuing a masters in public policy. She said COVID-19 amplified staffing challenges at the hospital with many health-care professionals working extended hours and unable to take vacation time. "We've gone from a situation of kind of cheerful strain to one of real worry that we won't be able to meet the basic coverage to keep people safe and systems functioning," she said, adding doctors who don't usually work in the emergency department helped to keep it open.
