Canada’s health ministers wrap up meetings in Charlottetown

The federal and provincial Health Ministers have concluded their meetings in Charlottetown.  PEI Health Minister Mark McLane hosted his fellow ministers for two days of meetings on the Island.  As the meetings closed on Thursday, Federal Health Minister Mark Holland said that Canada intends to tackle its health workforce shortage by making it easier for nurses and doctors to practice in other provinces.  That includes streamlining credentials for internationally trained health workers and the creation of a new nursing retention program.
