Dr. Gehad Gobran, president of Doctors Nova Scotia said retaining new doctors is important and involves the community making them feel welcome.

Doctors Nova Scotia President Dr. Gehad Gobran thinks the medical college will help get more doctors working in the province to decrease the number of residents needing one.

The Nova Scotia government says it is making significant inroads in cutting regulatory red tape in the province, particularly in the field of health care.

“Doctors don’t go into medicine for the exhaustive paperwork, they do so to care for their patients,” said Nancy MacCready-Williams, CEO of Doctors Nova Scotia.
