Three newly recruited family physicians are now practising at the local healthcare centre and in the community, improving access to care for local and regional residents.
Dr. Abdullah Elashkel, Dr. Salem Elmgadmi and Dr. Ali Abolkasim have all received their medical training in Libya and have begun practising at the Fairview Health Complex and the Fairview Medical Clinic over the past few months.
The doctors will also be supporting the local emergency department, inpatient and outpatient services and long-term care.
“We are thrilled to welcome three new physicians to Fairview as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare services in our community,” said Todd Loewen, MLA for Central Peace-Notley. “Attracting and retaining physicians is a top priority for us, and we are committed to working with our partners to ensure residents have access to the care they need, close to home.”
As part of an overall physician recruitment strategy, Alberta Health Services has three physician resource planners in the North Zone who are dedicated to identifying and pursuing international and domestic physician recruitment opportunities.
These planners work closely with partner organizations such as the Rural Health Professionals Action Plan and local, independent community physician attraction and retention committees.
