Saskatchewan unprepared for projected spike of dementia patients
Saskatchewan’s population has already reached one in six persons over the age of 65 and is rapidly approaching one in five.
To put the crisis in perspective, she explains, “There is one pediatrician for 2,000 children and youth in Canada. There is one geriatrician for every 21,000 seniors and the number of geriatricians is shrinking.” “It’s also impossible to treat older people and particularly people with cognitive impairment in five-minute intervals. Geriatricians make less money than pediatricians and they have more work to do.”Saskatchewan is included in the provinces that have no strategy for handling the predicted surge in dementia cases.“Early detection is critical and in Saskatchewan only 39 per cent of GP’s feel they have confidence in detecting dementia or caring for it.
