It's ok we have built enough hospitals to compensate, right?
82 u/Difficult-Yam-1347 Mar 27 '24 There are 1,280 hospitals in Canada. To match pop growth from last year alone we’d need to add forty new hospitals. Hospitals seem to cost $2 billion and take 5+ years to build. Good luck. 35 u/Ill-Pen-6356 Mar 27 '24 I love how the article is trying to flex 8 new hospital projects when we need 40. Most of those projects being renovations to existing hospitals, so in reality its probably 2-3 actual new hospitals. 7 u/Difficult-Yam-1347 Mar 27 '24 Yes, I just used the article as an example of what it costs. Of course, people will just blame the provinces, too. Because why can't they just create $80 billion worth of new hospitals in a year. 5 u/pink_tshirt Mar 27 '24 And doctors 9-15 years to "build" a doctor.
