Doctors in Kamloops calling for transparency, and action to address staffing shortages and surgical wait-lists
KAMLOOPS — Doctors at Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) are calling for provincial help this week, with growing surgery wait lists and certain departments operating under regular staffing strain.
The heightened frustration comes after the province stated B.C. has nearly caught up to the pandemic surgery backlog and Interior Health CEO Susan Brown recently addressed concerns around staffing recruitment.
Medical professionals in Kamloops say the situation on the ground is quite different.
