As another clinic closes, doctors say after-hours care is set up to fail

An after-hours medical clinic in Moncton, attached to the Main Street Atlantic Superstore, has permanently closed. The closure is attributed to a lack of resources and physicians, making it difficult to maintain sustainable hours. The clinic's former general manager noted that while the province is focusing on improving access to primary care, the transition has led to the closure of some after-hours clinics. He emphasized the need for continuous primary care access but acknowledged the challenge of balancing resources between walk-in clinics and primary health-care providers.
