Canada must rethink its approach to healthcare recruitment.
One of the biggest barriers in our healthcare system today is the requirement for “Canadian experience” before internationally trained doctors can practice. Human anatomy is the same everywhere in the world. A qualified doctor from India, the UAE, the UK, or Australia has already undergone rigorous medical training and treated thousands of patients.
Instead of forcing these professionals to repeat long licensing processes or wait years, Canada could adopt a practical solution:
• Conduct a standardized written and clinical examination to verify their qualifications.
• Allow them to work initially as Assistant Physicians or Associate Doctors within the Canadian healthcare system.
• After gaining 3–5 years of Canadian clinical experience, they can be evaluated and promoted to full physician status.
Countries like the UAE (Dubai) successfully attract doctors from around the world through structured licensing exams and supervised practice models. Canada can implement a similar pathway to address the severe shortage of physicians.
Another area that requires reform is the medical school admission system. The current process is outdated and extremely restrictive.
In many countries such as India, the UK, and Australia, students can enter medical programs directly after Grade 12 through national entrance examinations. They complete a structured Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS/MD equivalent) followed by postgraduate specialization.
Canada should consider modernizing its system by: • Allowing Grade 12 graduates to sit for a national medical entrance examination
• Expanding medical school capacity
• Creating accelerated pathways to train more doctors
If these reforms are not implemented, the shortage of doctors will continue to grow, and Canadian citizens will ultimately suffer.
Healthcare is a basic necessity, and Canada must adapt to global best practices to ensure timely access to medical care.
It is time to look at the world and evolve.

Today Rwanda Biomedical Centre in collaboration with other partners hosted a 3-day #clinicaltrials management in oncology for #clinicians, #researchers, trial coordinators, regulators, and institutional leaders.
The workshop aims to strengthen competencies in #Oncology clinical trial design, regulatory and #ethicalcompliance, trial operations, participant safety, pharmacovigilance, data management, monitoring, and quality assurance.
Yesterday marked the kickoff of the 5-day Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for Vaccines & Medical Products training (15–19 Dec 2025), proudly organized by @EacRceVihscm.
23 experts from regulatory authorities, industry, and academia from #EAC @ju@jumuiya Partner States are sharpening GMP skills, becoming part of a pool of experts advancing quality manufacturing.
Thrilled to contribute to this initiative!

C’est avec affliction que j’ai appris le rappel à Dieu de Sa Sainteté le Pape François.
En ce triste évènement, j’exprime ma solidarité et ma compassion à l'État de la Cité du Vatican, à l’Église famille de Dieu au Burkina Faso et aux catholiques du monde entier.
Je retiens du Pape François, un homme qui a consacré pleinement sa vie à la cause des pauvres, des plus démunis et pour la justice et la paix dans le monde. Je salue la mémoire de ce Souverain pontife qui, durant son règne, n'a eu de cesse de témoigner sa proximité et sa solidarité envers le Burkina Faso, dans l'épreuve du terrorisme qui est imposé à notre pays.
Puisse-t-il reposer dans la paix de son Seigneur qu'il a servi avec une humilité remarquable et un fort dévouement.
