The Manitoba government says the province is now leading the country when it comes to access to family doctors.

According to the 2025 Our Care National Survey, nearly 89 percent of Manitobans report having a regular primary care provider, such as a family doctor, nurse practitioner, or clinic.

That’s the highest rate in Canada and well above the national average of just over 82 percent.

Health, seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara says the results reflect efforts to rebuild primary care across the province, including hiring more physicians, expanding training and recruitment programs, and opening extended-hours clinics.

Since 2023, the province says it has added a net increase of 285 doctors, helping stabilize care in communities across Manitoba.
