加拿大将从2026年4月开始由护士执业医师、药剂师和助产士提供初级保健。 Canada will cover primary care by nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and midwives starting April 2026.

自2026年4月1日起,加拿大各省和地区卫生计划将根据对《加拿大卫生法》的新解释,涵盖由护士从业人员、药剂师和助产士提供的初级保健服务。 Starting April 1, 2026, Canadian provincial and territorial health plans will cover primary care services provided by nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and midwives, under a new interpretation of the Canada Health Act. 这一改变旨在防止病人自掏腰包支付必要的医疗护理费用,并将通过联邦保健转移付款予以执行。 This change aims to prevent patients from paying out of pocket for medically necessary care and will be enforced through federal health transfer payments. 预计该政策将减轻对初级保健医生和保健系统的压力。 The policy is expected to ease pressure on primary care physicians and the healthcare system.
